The Beca Rita Cetinaone of the social programs implemented by President Claudia Sheinbaum with the beginning of her government in October 2024, will continue during 2026 with the same support scheme for public high school students throughout Mexico, including the extra payment aimed at families with more than one child at this educational level. That’s what is known so far.
This program, administered by the Ministry of Welfare, seeks to strengthen the school permanence of adolescents and alleviate family expenses through bimonthly financial support of 1,900 pesos, deposited directly on the Banco del Bienestar card, without intermediaries.
Extra payment of 700 pesos, for whom? This is how the Rita Cetina Scholarship pays
One of the main benefits of the Rita Cetina Scholarship is the additional payment of 700 pesos for each extra child enrolled in public secondary school. This amount is deposited together with the bimonthly support, so families receive it cumulatively on the same card.
According to the current rules of the program, this extra payment remains in effect for 2026, unless the Federal Government announces modifications. In other words, all families with two or more children in secondary school will continue to receive the complementary deposit during the following year.
Total amount that beneficiary families will receive
The payment is calculated according to the number of children in public secondary school:
- Family with 1 child: receive $1,900
- Family with 2 children: receive $2,600
- Family with 3 children: receive $3,300
- Family with 4 children: receive $4,000
The additional amount is a direct incentive for those who support the studies of several children in secondaryhelping to cover transportation, materials and uniform costs.
The Rita Cetina 2026 Scholarship will continue with the purpose of supporting the family economy and preventing school dropouts in one of the most vulnerable groups: young people in secondary school. Thanks to its cumulative scheme, the program seeks that no student abandons his studies due to lack of resourcesand that the families Find in this scholarship constant support for the school year.
