Overview
- The Ministry of Capital Humano published Resolución 485/2026 on Friday to open the second 2026 convocatoria for Becas Progresar and set separate registration windows by scholarship line.
- Registration is online only through Mi Argentina, with 'Finalización de la educación obligatoria' open 10 August–4 September and 'Fomento de la educación superior' plus 'Progresar Enfermería' open 18 August–11 September.
- ANSES confirmed the nominal monthly rate at $35,000, paying 80% each month ($28,000) and retaining 20% until beneficiaries submit required academic certification, and it published an August payment calendar that begins on 13 August and is staggered by DNI termination.
- The number of payments depends on when a student is admitted: beneficiaries from the first 2026 convocatoria can receive up to 12 cuotas while those accepted in the second convocatoria receive six cuotas as set by Resolución 172/2026.
- Extra payments and the retained 20% are conditional on participation in approved 'Actividades de Extensión Formativa' and on institutional validation during academic certification, a rule that shapes how students will access stimulus and withheld funds.
