«We want them to be certain that no student requiring financial support will be left without assistance,” stated Rector Juan Manuel Zolezzi. The Ministry of Education also announced the opening of an appeals process, which will conclude on May 30.

The Executive Vice President of the Council of Rectors, Juan Manuel Zolezzi, met with Minister Carolina Schmidt at the Ministry of Education to review the figures for the socioeconomic re-evaluation process for students at CRUCH universities. During the meeting, it was reported that 137,751 students renewed their scholarships or loans, while 715 transitioned from scholarships to full-time financial aid, 412 lost benefits, and 3,770 upper-level students received one of these benefits for the first time. Meanwhile, 1,975 students are currently undergoing a review of their financial records.

“We have come to this meeting with the Minister of Education because we are concerned about our students. We want them to be certain that no student who requires financial support will be left unprotected,” said Rector Zolezzi.

The Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) reported that students who have not yet submitted their information should send it to their universities as soon as possible, while those who need to appeal their result should go directly to the Ministry of Education.
