This paper discusses the need to create monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES) in Brazilian federal universities. Specifically, the objective is to investigate the monitoring and evaluation instruments of the Permanence Scholarship Program, implemented in five federal universities, namely: UFAC, UFPR, UFS, UFU and UFV. The selection made is based on the analysis of data obtained in audits of the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), through the Management Results Evaluation Report No. 201601866 / CGU; which point out the presence of such instruments only in these universities. In the present study, the qualitative and survey methodologies are adopted as mechanisms to obtain data and information from a particular group. From this analysis, it was possible to observe, among other aspects, that the researched universities develop the policy of monitoring Student Assistance actions, in order not only to comply with item II, article 5, of Decree No. 7.234 / 2010, which provides for the execution of program monitoring and evaluation; but also to obtain information during the process, with a view to enabling possible local policy adjustments, immediately.
