Professional decisions and choices an individual makes contribute to the building of his/her professional identity and career path (SCHEIN, 1996; IBARRA, 2009). This building process, however, is not necessarily the same for all individuals and/or groups of individuals, bearing in mind the dynamics of all elements present, such as family, moral values, socioeconomic status, interests, experiences and others (SUPER, 1972; LUCHIARI, 1996; SANTOS, 2005; BOURDIEU, 2007; VARDI, 2009; DIAS, 2011; ALMEIDA, MAGALHÃES, 2011; LEHMAN, 2011; OLIVEIRA, DIAS, 2013). One of the many important moments in the building process of an individual's professional identity coincides with the admission into a university of higher learning education and the career choices that were required beforehand. Taking a closer look at this sample group, there is evidence of a tier of low income students who try to ascend to careers socially recognized by their peers as the ticket to success by joining a university of higher learning education, be it through personal effort or through incentives such as scholarships and/or student loans. The work here presented, is what Ibarra (2009) describes as the moment in which the individual is faced with something new that must be pondered upon as it ties into his/her experiences and new connections - it's what grasps the subject of this work: professional identity. The access to a university by a student of lower income background offers new concrete opportunities, interaction with new individuals and the reinterpretation of life experiences as they were known to that individual thus far. The main goal of this study is to understand how the building of a professional identity happens in young persons that are assisted by such programs (whether officially or not) that aid them in having access to higher learning education. The study, in its qualifying nature, uses data collected from research that identifies the career anchors and personal values, as well as through the use of semi structured interviews, performed with students from four different institutions of higher learning education, who were recipients of scholarship or student loans. The qualifying nature of the study benefited the content analysis technique (the mapping of such categories, if you will) from the semi structured interviews (BARDIN, 2011; CRESWELL, 2007) with the subjects of the research. The reasoning that defines this study as a thesis is based on the possible contribution for the advance of the theory once it is applied to concepts already studied by other researchers with a public that, according with the work that was consulted (Appendix A and B), was not approached under this particular point of view. Looking at the literature and analysis of all data in this search for valuable contribution, it is concluded that all elements that constitute the personal and professional identity (focusing in it's personal path, via professional inclinations, personal values, career expectations, the meaning of such work, family, other references and vocational orientation) all are equally present in young scholarship students who were interviewed, and, part of the dynamics of such elements can be clearly observed in those students. Only one aspect was considered relevant and may possibly suggest a relation to the sample group studied here - it has to do with the two bipolar dimensions which are a result of the motivational compatibility and incompatibility, recognized in the studies by Schwartz (1992; 2005). The findings that were revealed in this study suggests a singularity that diverges in some measure from this bipolar structure and suggests that the reason for such peculiarity may be in the public. New comparable studies that reach a broader audience should be performed to verify its consistency and investigate the probable causes. The analysis here presented, in accordance with the theory, made it possible to achieve the main objective of the research
