The University for All Program (ProUni, in Portuguese) is an affirmative action policy that grants scholarships to low-income students in private higher education institutions. This paper is about an investigation into the insertion and permanence of black scholarship holders in the university based on René Lourau's Institutional Analysis articulated with critical whiteness studies. The data were produced through online group interviews with four students and analyzed together by restitution. In this study, we evidenced that ProUni is an instituting force for inserting students in the university, a place previously destined for the elites, and that it causes tensions produced in the encounter with the establishment. In addition, we demonstrated the urgency of the debate about racial issues in the academy, a space where uncritical whiteness establishes itself as a silent norm. Denaturalizing racial inequalities by unveiling the discomforts that the discussion presents for opening up the structural racism on which it settles in the institution-education, we point out the urgency to create fissures in this structure. Structure that extensively composes, produces and reproduces oppressive logics in the higher education system.
