Overview
- The Ministry of Capital Humano, led by Sandra Pettovello, officially reopened Progresar enrollment on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, for young people seeking to finish school, study at tertiary level or train professionally.
- The scholarship pays a fixed $35,000 per month, which can reach $420,000 if paid over 12 months, and new beneficiaries receive 80% of each installment while 20% is held back until they prove academic regularity.
- The program is divided into lines with age rules that vary by level: education completion 16–24, higher education entrants 17–24 and advanced students up to 30, vocational training 18–24 with a 35 cap for the unemployed, and Progresar Enfermería with no age limit.
- Key eligibility rules require Argentine nationality or qualifying residency, an active or in-progress vaccination schedule, household income below three minimum wages, and a free personal registration on the official digital platform using CUIL and the Social Security password.
- Applicants should register and monitor their payment status online and expect the retained 20% to be paid only after institutions confirm regularity, a design meant to link cash support to study continuity and to potentially boost completion rates and health-care training supply.
