Argentina Opens Registration for Becas Progresar 2026

The program ties a monthly $35,000 cash grant to proof of school or training attendance by withholding 20% of first-time payments until academic regularity is verified.

Overview

  • Registration is open online through the Progresar platform and requires a Mi Argentina account, with key application windows closing soon for some lines and Formación Profesional open until November 27.
  • The benefit is set at $35,000 per month and new entrants receive 80% each month while 20% is held back and paid later once students prove they are enrolled and attending.
  • Payment length depends on when a student is admitted: those in the first call can receive 12 installments and later entrants may receive six.
  • Eligibility is limited by line-specific age bands (for example, 16–24 for completing compulsory schooling, 17–24 for new higher-education entrants, advanced students to 30, and no age limit for the nursing line) and requires Argentine nationality or residency, a household income below three Salarios Mínimos, and a current or in-progress vaccination scheme.
  • The call was formalized by Resolution 485/2026 in the Boletín Oficial and is run by the Ministerio de Capital Humano and the Secretaría de Educación, with ANSES referenced for payment logistics, as part of the government's recurring effort to keep vulnerable youth in education by linking cash support to school compliance.
