The Benito Juárez Scholarship program, a crucial support system for students in Mexico, has commenced the distribution of funds to those in basic, upper secondary, and higher education. This month, as we step into March 2025, the National Coordination of Scholarships for Well-being announced important details about how and when beneficiaries can collect their cards.
The distribution of cards allowing access to the program's benefits will take place from March 24 to April 30, 2025. To find out the exact location and date of delivery, students or their guardians must navigate to the Status Search feature on the official program website. Using their CURP (Unique Population Registry Code), they can quickly access information about the assigned branch of the Banco del Bienestar and the time for card collection.
To collect the cards, students must present an official ID. Notably, if the student is underage, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, who is also required to bring their valid official ID (both original and copy), along with a document confirming their relationship with the beneficiary. It is vital to be aware that cards will not be issued to minors without an adult present.
This March, beneficiaries might receive double payments due to election bans, cheering many families. However, to confirm eligibility for this additional payment, beneficiaries should check their personal information in the Status Search tool, where they can see if they qualify for this extra disbursement, its amount, and the exact date of receipt.
The program has strongly urged beneficiaries and their families to utilize only official information channels to prevent potential fraud. The program's official websites and social media handles will provide the most reliable updates. Despite the potential for confusion, this assistance remains essential for hundreds of thousands of students across the country, providing them with critical financial relief to continue their education.
In March 2025, the delivery of Benito Juárez cards for upper secondary education is set to kick off in Quintana Roo. Students eligible for this support, created during former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's administration, should check their status actively and keep an eye on the delivery schedule.
The cards meant for the upper secondary level, known as the Beca Rita Cetina, were announced during a recent event in Quintana Roo. This scholarship aims to assist those who are economically disadvantaged, ensuring they can complete their education and aim for a better future. It's meant to provide support for school supplies, transportation, and food costs.
Last week in Quintana Roo, the distribution of the Beca Rita Cetina cards happened, even amidst labor strikes affecting schools across the country. Now, students are returning to classes officially, focusing on how to access their scholarships once again.
For students needing to confirm if they are beneficiaries of the Beca Benito Juárez Media Superior in Quintana Roo, the process requires prior registration facilitated by their families to gather necessary documents. If this was correctly done, students need to follow specific steps:
- Visit the official Beca Benito Juárez website.
- Log in through the “Llave MX” portal.
- Check the “Status” section to see if their application reads “Active.”
The delivery of Benito Juárez cards for upper secondary education is happening from March 24 to April 30, 2025. Therefore, beneficiaries are advised to stay tuned for information from their schools and the Quintana Roo government regarding how to collect their cards or whether they can attend a nearby branch for pickup.
Students can expect their first payment after the distribution of cards, which is likely to occur a month later. Payment schedules will be shared by the Secretary of Education, and further details may be accessed via the Banco Bienestar app.
Speaking of the timeline, the National Coordinator of Scholarships for Well-being, Julio León, has confirmed that the distribution of cards began officially on March 24, 2025, and is expected to be completed before the end of April. The aim is for 100% of beneficiaries to receive their cards within a month.
In line with this program, financial support is extended to students at various educational levels, catering to those at risk of dropping out while promoting equal opportunities in education. For example:
- Basic education: A scholarship of 1,900 pesos every two months for 10 months of the school year.
- Upper secondary education: The Beca Rita Cetina of 1,900 pesos every two months, plus an additional 700 pesos per extra student within the same family enrolled in secondary school.
- Higher education: The Jóvenes Escribiendo el Futuro scholarship provides 5,800 pesos every two months.
Beneficiaries are encouraged to remain vigilant for announcements from their schools to ensure they understand the delivery of their cards and associated payments. Properly staying informed is crucial to help secure this essential financial aid.
The process for collecting the Benito Juárez cards involves students having a prepared CURP and visiting the Status Finder on the official website. There, they can learn exactly when to expect to collect their cards.
Upon receipt of their Bienestar card, students should visit the nearest Banco Bienestar branch to set their PIN. This can be done at an ATM or with an ID for personal verification at the branch. Keeping this PIN secure is paramount for accessing the financial support available through the program.
The support offered through the Beca Benito Juárez is vital for ensuring that students from low-income families can continue their education without financial hindrances.
