SOCIAL ACTION

The Social Action Service, integrated in the UDASSEST (article 67 of the ESEnfC statutes), complies with a specific regulation regarding the granting of social support and scholarships for students. Taking on the public responsibility of promoting social equality and an inclusive society, it aims to improve the learning conditions for all who use the social support system for students.

This service offers social support consultations, support to higher education applications, support and management of applications for study, housing and nutrition scholarship, support to economically challenged students, and home visits in socioeconomic problem situations or confirmation of social elements. The service also participates actively in the Solidarity Fund project, which aims to support economically challenged higher education students in the pursuit of their studies.

SOLIDARITY FUND PROJECT

The purpose of the Solidarity Fund project is "To exist so that no one quits" («Existir para ninguém desistir»). It is a partnership between several entities of Coimbra, particularly the Nursing School fo Coimbra (ESEnfC), represented by the Student Ombudsperson and the Social Worker. This partnership allows assisting the student in the planning and construction of a promising journey and, above all, in achieving stability and sustentability, trusting that the student will profit from this unique support.

This project, coordinated by the University Institute Justiça e Paz, aims to support economically challenged higher education students in the pursuit of their studies. It also seeks to alert and encourage the community and the general population towards this issue, advocating equal academic access and success opportunities and aiming at school dropout prevention.

HOUSING AND NUTRITION SUPPORT

The Action Social Service of the ESEnfC aims to respond to unique situations resulting from contingencies or socioeconomic difficulties that impact negatively on the normal school performance of the student, within the scope of housing and nutrition support, that can not be conveniently solved with the supplements defined by the Social Action for Higher Education system.
