Argentina Opens Second 2026 Progresar Call With Staggered Application Windows

The Progresar platform now processes online applications while ANSES will make payments and the ministry has not announced when final results will be published.

Overview

  • The second convocatoria is open in stages: Progresar Obligatorio has been accepting applications since August 10 and Progresar Superior and Progresar Enfermería opened for registration on Tuesday, August 18.
  • Students must apply and check status on the official Progresar platform using a Mi Argentina account and provide a bank CBU or CVU to receive payments.
  • The monthly nominal benefit for 2026 is fixed at $35,000 by Resolución 172/2026 and some groups—Progresar Obligatorio and first‑year higher‑education entrants—face a 20% retention, initially receiving $28,000.
  • Applications face a two‑stage review: ANSES verifies socioeconomic eligibility including the three‑SMVM income cap, and educational institutions validate academic regularity; academic rejections can be appealed within 15 administrative days after results are posted.
  • A structural change for this round limits awards from the second convocatoria to six monthly installments rather than the 12 paid to beneficiaries from the first convocatoria, and the ministry has not yet published a date for definitive adjudication results.
