The Federal Government provides the Benito Juárez Scholarship 2025 as financial support to prevent school dropout and assist students at all educational levels in Mexico. Beneficiaries can expect good news this April, as the next payment for this year will be disbursed, with some students potentially receiving a double deposit.
According to Mario Delgado, the head of the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP), the second payment of the Benito Juárez Scholarship, corresponding to the March-April bimonthly period, will take place in April 2025. While the official deposit schedule has yet to be published, it is anticipated that the announcement will occur in the early days of April.
New beneficiaries of the Benito Juárez Scholarship in Upper Middle Education, who registered in February 2025, are set to receive a double payment this month. This means they will receive a total of 3,800 pesos, which equates to four months of support. As for how students can check their program status, those who have completed their registration can verify their application status on the official website of the National Coordination of Benito Juárez Scholarships (CNBBJ). By entering their CURP, selecting 'I am not a robot,' and choosing the 'banking' option, students will receive information regarding their payment date, time, and the corresponding Banco del Bienestar branch for their transaction.
The SEP is currently preparing the payment schedule for the Benito Juárez Scholarship for April 2025, which will cater to beneficiaries across basic, upper middle, and higher education. Based on previous deposit patterns, the tentative schedule indicates that the first beneficiaries to receive financial support will be those with last names starting with A on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. The official schedule is expected to be confirmed between March 31 and April 1, 2025.
In 2025, the Benito Juárez Scholarship saw an increase of 60 pesos, raising the amount to be deposited in February to 1,900 pesos. The tentative payment schedule is as follows: April 2 for last names starting with A; April 3 for B; April 4 for C; April 5 for D, E, and F; April 7 for G; April 8 for H, I, J, and K; April 9 for L; April 10 for M; April 11 for M again; April 12 for N and O; April 14 for P and Q; April 15 for R; April 16 for R and S; April 17 for S; April 18 for T, U, and V; and April 19 for W, X, Y, and Z.
In terms of the amounts to be received in April 2025, beneficiaries in basic and upper middle education will receive 1,900 pesos bimonthly, while those in higher education will receive 5,800 pesos bimonthly. To verify the payment date and status of the Benito Juárez Scholarship, beneficiaries should consult the Status Checker available on the official scholarship website. They only need to enter their CURP and follow the instructions provided on the platform.
As March comes to a close, students across Mexico are poised to receive their April payments for the Benito Juárez Scholarship, as indicated by the payment schedule to be announced by the National Coordination of Welfare Scholarships (CNBB). Mario Delgado has confirmed the arrival of a double payment for the Benito Juárez Scholarship 2025, specifically for upper secondary education students who registered during February 2025.
The payment schedule will be organized alphabetically, taking into account the first letter of the last name, similar to the Welfare Pension system. The first day of payments will be for those whose last names begin with the letter 'A'. Following this, students with last names starting with 'B' will receive their payments on the second day, and those starting with 'C' on the third day. All students must possess their Welfare card to collect the scholarship. The distribution of these cards commenced on March 24, 2025, and parents can collect them at their children’s schools or at auxiliary CNBB locations.
For beneficiaries already enrolled in the program and new entrants to the Jóvenes Escribiendo el Futuro Scholarship (university students), the payments will be as follows: 1,900 pesos for basic education students (primary and preschool), 1,900 pesos for upper middle education students, and 5,800 pesos for university students participating in the Jóvenes Escribiendo el Futuro program.
The payment schedule is expected to be officially announced today, March 31, 2025, or in the first days of April, similar to the Welfare Pension announcements. There is a strong likelihood that Mario Delgado will provide this information during the press conference led by Claudia Sheinbaum.
The payment schedule will be reactivated this week and corresponds to the March-April bimonthly period. The SEP and the National Coordination of Benito Juárez Welfare Scholarships are working diligently to deliver Welfare Cards to all students enrolled in this scholarship program. A new payment period for the March-April bimester is set to commence.
If the schedule remains unchanged, the tentative start date for payments will be Wednesday, April 2, 2025. The Benito Juárez Scholarship aims to assist students in upper secondary education enrolled in public schools in Mexico, whether in a school or mixed modality. Beneficiaries receive 1,900 pesos every two months to help them continue and complete their studies, according to the government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
As previously mentioned, if the calendar proceeds without changes, the SEP will initiate payments for the March-April bimester on April 2. Students whose last names begin with 'A' will be the first to receive financial contributions from the Government of Mexico. The payment schedule will continue as outlined, ensuring that all eligible students receive their much-needed support.
It’s important to note that the Benito Juárez Scholarship is part of the Welfare Programs and provides financial contributions for the 10 months of the school year. This scholarship can be awarded for a maximum of 40 months, provided the student remains enrolled. However, the months of July and August are excluded from consideration as they fall within the vacation period.
Payments are made directly to students, without intermediaries, through the Welfare Cards. Students are encouraged to stay updated by following the verified social media accounts of the National Coordination of Benito Juárez Welfare Scholarships, checking the Status Checker, and inquiring at their respective schools to learn when and where they will receive their cards.
Regarding payment dates, the SEP has informed that these dates may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Should such changes occur, updates will be communicated via the official online portals of the Government of Mexico and through the social media channels of the relevant educational departments.
