The "Pé-de-Meia" Program was established by the Brazilian Federal Government with the aim of encouraging the retention of low-income students in high school by providing maintenance scholarships and savings opportunities. To be eligible for the program, a young person must: Be properly enrolled in a regular public high school course, be between 14 to 24 years old, come from a low-income family, and be registered in the Bolsa Família Program. The Program offers four types of incentives:

An enrollment grant registered at the beginning of the academic year, paid once a year in the amount of 200 BRL.

A minimum school attendance of 80% of the total class hours, paid in nine installments throughout the year at 200 BRL each.

Proven participation in the National High School Exam (ENEM), paid once to the student enrolled in the third year of high school, in the amount of 200 BRL.

Completion of the high school academic years, paid in a single installment of 1,000 BRL.

Delay discounting measured by the Monetary Choice Questionnaire (MCQ).0.0 indicates an absence of discounting, meaning the individual values immediate and future rewards equally. This can be interpreted as a preference for delayed rewards or a long-term perspective.

0.5 indicates strong discounting, meaning the individual significantly devalues future rewards in favor of immediate ones. This is seen as an indication of high impulsivity.

Academic performance will be assessed based on school grades, categorized as follows: grades below 6 will indicate low performance; grades between 6 and 8 will reflect a medium performance; and grades between 8 and 10, a high performance

School attendance will be evaluated based on the regularity of class attendance, organized into the following categories: an attendance rate below 80% will be considered low, while an attendance rate of 80% or more will indicate excellent school attendance.
