Overview
- The raise was codified in Resolución 431/2026 published in the Boletín Oficial on Tuesday and takes effect with the payment corresponding to June 2026.
- Monthly support per beneficiary jumps from $81,685 to $122,527, a $40,842 increase that represents a 50% recomposition of the benefit.
- The 2026 convocatoria keeps a cap of 36,000 scholarships so the change alters only the per‑student amount, not the number of recipients.
- The program targets students from low‑income households enrolled in careers tied to national productive development, including energy, mining, logistics and infrastructure, agroindustry and biotechnology, IT and control systems, teacher training, and exact and natural sciences.
- Financing for the increase is assigned to Ministry of Capital Humano budget lines for higher education development and beneficiaries retain existing academic and socioeconomic requirements for renewal.
