National University of Lanús

Established in 1995, the Universidad Nacional de Lanús (National University of Lanús) is an Urban Engaged University located in the city of Remedios de Escalada de San Martín. which is part of Lanús's district, with a population of 500,000 inhabitants. Part of the city is mostly subsumed by neighboring Buenos Aires, the country's capital city. Urban sprawl around Buenos Aires has largely subsumed cities such as Lanús, to the point where a third of the entire population of Argentina now live in the Greater Buenos Aires area. 

Teaching at the Universidad Nacional de Lanús covers a range of academic subjects including Community Health, Arts and Humanities, Productive Development and Technologies, and Public Policies. The university also aims to benefit the local community by offering a range of training programs open to all ages. This includes lessons in computer science, foreign languages, dance, choir, orchestra and crafts.

The university also has an extensive scholarship program for internal undergraduate students. These are financed through a solidarity fund made up of voluntary contributions and money raised from fees and the university budget.
