This article aims to discuss the access and retention of black Brazilian female students in undergraduate programs, based on the reconfiguration of higher education policy in the 2000s, reflecting on the challenges to guaranteeing the rights of this population. This is a narrative review of literature and documentary research from reports by the Anísio Teixeira National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (INEP) from 2014 to 2023 and the National Association of Directors of Federal Higher Education Institutions (Andifes) from 2019. Since the 2000s, there has been an increase in access to higher education, both in the public and private spheres, although with greater emphasis on private institutions. As for retention, the Student Assistance Policy in federal educational institutions provides resources for funding and maintaining material issues of survival, constituting an important mechanism. However, Student Assistance has not received sufficient resources in recent years, given the context of fiscal adjustment, which highlights the focus of this policy.
