Abstract

The scientific field is increasing its growth and becomes more diverse before which multiple approaches are intended to explain the reality and its complexities. The Social Representations as a theoretical-methodological line gives an account of its feasibility in this work because it allows to approach and construct an object of study from the existence of a meaning and utility for a group determined for this reason the inequality in its economic and educational typologies it can be constructed from the social actors. Inequality has been a situation that afflicts humanity persistently since ancient times, the approach and exploration for its treatment is scarce from social psychology, since economics, political science and sociology have been the main disciplines that have studied it. The objective of this article is to publicize the social representations that students have scholarship about the conditions and / or factors of both economic and educational inequality, in addition to the impact that a maintenance grant has on them, from their perceptions and from of your experience. For this, 123 questionnaires were applied; subsequently, the data obtained was systematized to obtain statistical elements. In the same way, semantic networks and the pertinent calculations were made to obtain the opinions of the scholars based on the semantic differential. The conclusions are framed in that there is no differential effect in the amount awarded in the maintenance grant towards economic and educational inequality, this resource represents a support for the beneficiaries and falls more in being a palliative in the economic factors concerning the household and of immediate personal question. The value given is of gratitude to continue studying and completing university studies.
