Overview
- The Coordinación Nacional de Becas para el Bienestar opened online registration from Monday, September 21 to Wednesday, September 30 for the Beca Gertrudis Bocanegra.
- The call covers public higher‑education students up to 29 years old whose campus is listed as 'susceptible de atención' in Michoacán, Chiapas, Campeche, Sonora or Zacatecas and requires a Llave MX account plus a certified CURP, the school CCT and a recent proof of address.
- The scholarship pays 1,900 pesos every two months, can be granted up to a maximum of 40 months and typically totals 9,500 pesos across the five bimesters of a 10‑month school cycle if all payments are awarded.
- Authorities report the program currently reaches 55,924 beneficiaries with a social investment of about 318.7 million pesos while applications are being validated and Banco del Bienestar cards are being prepared for delivery.
- The scheme began under the Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia and now forms part of the broader Becas para el Bienestar effort that routes direct payments to students to reduce dropout and expand access to higher education.
