Sumario:The article seeks to contribute to an understanding of young people from vulnerable backgrounds and their experiences of access to higher education in Peru. To this end, it presents the educational trajectories of seven young scholarship recipients of the national BECA 18 program from the beginning to the conclusion of their studies. The longitudinal research with a qualitative approach is based on in-depth interviews applied in three stages of observation of the educational trajectories of the scholarship recipients throughout their studies in three private universities in the city of Lima. The study aims to understand the main dilemmas generated in certain decisive stages of their trajectories within two new spaces: private universities and the city of Lima. We propose that such dilemmas are critical events that originate in the tension between their social background, their subjectivity and the conditions of the new spaces through which they transit. In the face of these, we consider the grantees as plural actors who set in motion diverse repertoires and strategies to confront them. In this process, the extended kinship networks in the city allow economic and affective support for these young migrants in their first university stage; the families are productive units and symbolic referents of those who incorporate the high valuation on education, in addition to the personal sacrifice and discipline that this entails for sectors marked by poverty and exclusion.
