Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico City, made an important announcement regarding the Gertrudis Bocanegra scholarship during the inauguration of a new educational facility in San Luis Potosí. She revealed that all students enrolled at the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos will now benefit from this scholarship program. The initiative aims to promote higher education accessibility and support students in overcoming financial barriers that may lead to school dropouts.

The Gertrudis Bocanegra scholarship was initially part of the 'Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia,' established following a tragic event involving Carlos Manzo. This financial aid program primarily targets higher education students to reduce dropout rates by providing them with essential economic resources. Each eligible student receives approximately 1,900 pesos bimonthly for a maximum of 45 months, covering the costs primarily associated with transportation to educational institutions.

By extending the scholarship to all students at the Universidad Nacional Rosario Castellanos, the government aims to address the pressing need for financial support in the education sector. This move reflects a broader commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and reducing economic disparities among students, showcasing the importance of sustained investment in higher education as a means to foster social equity and development in Mexico.
