Argentina Opens 2026 Progresar Enrollment With New Rules and a $35,000 Stipend

The overhaul makes aid contingent on verified academic status.

Overview

  • In a resolution published Friday in the Boletín Oficial, the Education Secretariat opened the 2026 Progresar call and set staggered sign-up windows by line: compulsory schooling from March 27 to April 24, higher education and nursing from April 6 to 30, and vocational training from April 27 to November 27.
  • The monthly amount is unified at 35,000 pesos for all lines, with 80% paid each month and 20% released only after schools confirm academic regularity.
  • Applications run online through the Progresar platform with identity checks via Mi Argentina, and beneficiaries must report any personal, academic, or job changes within 30 days through official channels.
  • Eligibility and continuity tighten under the new rules, including a household income cap of three minimum wages, DNI and residency requirements, public-institution study for higher education and nursing, INET-validated paths for vocational training, a 12‑month cap for first-call awards and six months for second-call awards, and limited renewals by line.
  • La Gaceta reports the $35,000 amount remains unchanged in 2026 and says March payment dates were still pending as ANSES awaited funds, even as enrollments proceed under the new framework.
