El estudio indaga sobre las razones que llevan a estudiantes de bajos ingresos, becarios del programa Beca 18, a desertar antes de iniciar los estudios o durante el primer año de los mismos. Se utilizan dos métodos: un modelo cuantitativo para comparar características familiares e individuales de desertores versus no desertores y otro cualitativo basado en entrevistas a profundidad a desertores para indagar sobre las razones de la no aceptación de la beca o retiro temprano. En este artículo se prioriza el enfoque cualitativo pues el cuantitativo no arroja diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos. La evidencia señala que los principales motivos que explican la deserción temprana o la no aceptación de Beca 18 son los factores afectivos y la falta de integración social al nuevo medio.

This article explores the reasons why low-income students, who are supported by a public scholarship program called “Beca 18”, reject this support or leave their studies during the first year of studies. Results are based on two methods: a quantitative model that compares personal and family characteristics among deserters and non-deserters, and a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with deserters in order to inquire about the reasons for not accepting the scholarship or early withdrawal. This article prioritizes the qualitative approach because the quantitative does not show significant differences between the two groups. The evidence indicates that the main reasons that explain the early drop-out or non-acceptance of Beca 18 are the affective factors and the lack of social integration into the new environment.
