The Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) has kicked off the payment schedule for the Beca Rita Cetina for April 2025, a financial aid program aimed at supporting students in basic education across Mexico. This initiative is particularly crucial for thousands of secondary school students who rely on this assistance to continue their education without interruption.
As part of the payment schedule, beneficiaries whose last names begin with the letter "G" are set to receive their payments on Monday, April 7, 2025. The SEP has outlined a systematic approach to ensure that payments are distributed efficiently based on the initial letters of the beneficiaries' last names, which helps to prevent congestion at financial institutions.
The Beca Benito Juárez, another vital financial support program, has seen an increase in its monthly payment amount. For 2025, the amount deposited will rise by $60.00, bringing the total to $1,900.00 pesos. This increase reflects the government's commitment to enhancing financial support for students.
The payment schedule for the Beca Rita Cetina for April 2025 is as follows:
- April 1: Last names starting with A
- April 2: Last names starting with B
- April 3 and 4: Last names starting with C
- April 5: Last names starting with D, E, F
- April 7: Last names starting with G
- April 8: Last names starting with G
- April 9: Last names starting with H, I, J, K
- April 10: Last names starting with L
- April 11: Last names starting with M
- April 14: Last names starting with N, Ñ, O
- April 15: Last names starting with P, Q
- April 16: Last names starting with R
- April 19: Last names starting with R
- April 21: Last names starting with S
- April 22: Last names starting with T, U, V
- April 23: Last names starting with W, X, Y, Z
This staggered payment system is designed to avoid overwhelming the Banco del Bienestar, which is responsible for distributing these funds. The authorities have advised beneficiaries to check their account balance on their designated payment dates. In case of any issues with deposits, they are encouraged to reach out through official channels for assistance.
The Beca Rita Cetina is named after Rita Cetina Gutiérrez, a notable 19th-century educator and feminist activist who fought for women's access to education in Mexico. This scholarship program is part of broader government strategies aimed at promoting education and youth development in the country.
In addition to the Beca Rita Cetina, the government has also confirmed that there will be a double payment for beneficiaries in the states of Durango and Veracruz. This is due to upcoming elections, which will temporarily halt payment distributions in those regions. As a result, students in these areas will receive payments for both the March-April and May-June periods simultaneously.
During the months of November and December, over five million students registered for the Beca Rita Cetina through the official website. In January 2025, Mario Delgado, the head of the SEP, announced that beneficiaries would begin receiving their payment cards in February and March. The cards, issued by the Banco del Bienestar, enable students to access their bi-monthly payments of 1,900 pesos.
Payments for the second bimester of 2025 are currently being processed, and the government has emphasized the importance of timely disbursement. The payments, which are crucial for many families, are intended to alleviate financial burdens and encourage students to complete their basic education.
From April 7 to April 11, 2025, students whose last names begin with the letters D to L will receive their payments, following the established schedule. The specific payment days are:
- April 7: Last names starting with D, E, F
- April 8: Last names starting with G
- April 9: Last names starting with G
- April 10: Last names starting with H, I, J, K
- April 11: Last names starting with L
This organized approach to payment distribution not only helps students receive their much-needed financial support but also ensures that the process is smooth and efficient. The government has set up various communication channels, including social media platforms and an official phone number, to assist beneficiaries with any inquiries related to their payments.
