ESCUELA DESARROLLO DE TALENTOS (EDT)
A program to prepare disadvantaged children to enter the university.

The Chilean American Foundation continues its alliance with the School of Economics and Business of the University of Chile for the program “School for Talent Development (EDT)”, which received a contribution of $11,500 for 2021.

Under this program, the best students from socially and economical vulnerable households, from technical-vocational high schools in Santiago and Aysén, receive free academic support in order to render an excellent university application test, enter and finish their elected university career. The preparation program is intensive during the last two years of high school, in addition to their regular classes, followed by support once they have entered the university with coaching for building their professional networks until they graduate. The program works with an annual group of 200 students.
