Rita Cetina Primary Sign‑Ups Close as SEP Begins Gertrudis Payouts and Opens New March Window in Michoacán

The rollout advances Plan Michoacán’s aim to curb dropout through cash transfers alongside planned expansions in school places.

Overview

  • Registration for the Beca Rita Cetina for primary students closed on March 19 at 23:59, with authorities providing last‑day guidance on correct document scanning and offering in‑person help for families facing Llave MX or upload issues.
  • Rita Cetina provides 2,500 pesos per primary student annually, with Banco del Bienestar cards slated for delivery in June–July and the first deposits in August, according to state coordinators.
  • SEP began dispersing 1,900‑peso payments for the January–February period of the Beca Gertrudis Bocanegra to 41,887 registered university students, backed by 159.1 million pesos, with the March–April payment scheduled for April.
  • A new Gertrudis registration window will run March 23–27 via www.becagertrudisbocanegra.gob.mx, with requirements that include an active Llave MX, CURP, CCT, ID, and proof of address.
  • Program rules specify no Rita Cetina deposits during July–August due to the vacation period, and officials tied both scholarships to upcoming capacity increases such as 10 new technological high schools, 60 modular ciberbachilleratos, and 50,000 additional higher‑education places.
