Los apoyos estudiantiles al servicio de la formación integral en la Universidad de Chile

The article briefly describes three areas of action intending to aid the integral development of students at the Universidad de Chile. The challenge is to end up with a population of students noted for academic excellence, without any socio-economic discrimination. One of these areas is Student Welfare, which is the unit responsible for preparing programs to assist students who lack the necessary financial resources and provide them with psychosocial care. The second area is the Medical and Dental Health Care Service, which aims to provide integral healthcare. The third area consists of support for extracurricular activities which intends to help promote actions that seek to improve students’ projects by providing direct advisory services to the students.
