Mexico Opens Rita Cetina Scholarship Registration for Secondary Students Through Sept. 30

High demand has strained the registration portal, with SEP working to stabilize access.

Overview

  • The current window covers first-time secondary enrollees and students in second or third grade who do not yet receive the benefit.
  • Applications are completed at becaritacetina.gob.mx by a parent or legal tutor using Llave MX, CURP, official ID, proof of address and the school CCT.
  • The scholarship pays 1,900 pesos bimonthly per family plus 700 pesos for each additional secondary student, deposited on Banco del Bienestar cards, with the next disbursement expected in October.
  • Primary students are not eligible in this phase; SEP scheduled registration for grades 4–6 in January 2026 and for grades 1–3 in September 2026.
  • The site showed outages and session errors on the first day due to heavy traffic, and authorities advise retrying as the service is stabilized.
