In its specific objectives, it seeks to: identify the socio-historical determinants of the Student Assistance Policy in Brazil; to analyze the Ifes Student Assistance Policy (2011) in its educational perspective, to find out with the students, the target audience of the research, their perception about the educational reach of this Policy, such as possible demands of theirs in that perspective; and, to develop proposal (s) for a Social Service intervention that strengthen Student Assistance as an integrative link of educational practices and integral human formation. It is understood that to discuss Student Assistance and integral human formation within the Institute, a critical reflection of the historical movements that involve this Policy is necessary, as a social policy of Education in capitalist society. It starts from the vision of society, as a society of classes, of the school, inserted in the context of the capitalist mode of production and its social reproductions. Among the results of the research, it was found that there is a demand on the part of the students for actions of Student Assistance in the educational perspective of the same, especially regarding identity issues, social inequalities, social mobilization and access to knowledge about the diversity of existing professions, beyond those linked to the areas of the technical classes they take. It was also noticed that Student Assistance, as a policy of student permanence and of integral human formation, needs to work along with the students in the perspective of overcoming the limitations of bourgeois citizenship (political emancipation), through successive approximations of educational work to human emancipation. The Intervention Project culminates in the systematization of an Action Plan for Social Service/Student Assistance from a perspective of the integral human formation of students.
