Mexico Begins Final 2025 Bienestar Scholarship Deposits by Surname Through Dec. 18

The payments reach more than 12.8 million students via Banco del Bienestar cards to close out the year.

Overview

  • Deposits for the November–December period start today for beneficiaries whose first surname begins with A or B, with the rest distributed on assigned dates through Dec. 18.
  • The official calendar staggers deposits alphabetically across seven banking days, ensuring all registered recipients in basic, upper-secondary and higher education receive funds this month.
  • Confirmed amounts are 1,900 pesos for Rita Cetina per family, 1,900 pesos for Benito Juárez at upper-secondary level, and 5,800 pesos for Jóvenes Escribiendo el Futuro, with an extra 700 pesos per additional child in public secondary for Rita Cetina.
  • Funds are credited to Bienestar Cards linked to Banco del Bienestar accounts and are available for ATM withdrawals, branch windows or card purchases once deposited.
  • Authorities caution beneficiaries to rely on official channels, not share PINs or surrender cards, and note this disbursement completes 2025 payments ahead of the next cycle expected in February 2026, as SEP prepares primary registrations for Rita Cetina in 2026 starting with grades four to six.
