UNAM nutritional program: how to request support for free lunch or breakfast

The aid is aimed at the undergraduate community that has adverse economic situations and poor academic performance

Guardar

The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) shared the call for the 2022 Nutrition Support Program so that the student community that meets the requirements can access meals free of charge.

The purpose of the scholarship is to benefit UNAM undergraduate students who live in adverse socio-economic situations and with a degree of malnutrition so that they can improve their academic performance and thus reduce school dropouts.

The support consists of a scholarship through which the beneficiaries will receive a free breakfast or a balanced meal at their faculty. The UNAM Foundation emphasizes that “healthy eating is directly related to levels of attention, concentration, energy and motivation”.
