The Rita Cetina Scholarship program for Mexican public primary school students will begin registration in March 2024, announced Julio León Trujillo from the National Coordination of Scholarships for Well-Being Benito Juárez (CNBBBJ) through a video on official social media. Parents are currently being informed about the registration process in assemblies held at primary schools, which cover the necessary details for the application. This initiative aims to support families by providing financial assistance for essential educational supplies, and is part of a broader effort to include students across all levels of basic education, including preschool and secondary education.

The scholarship amounts to an annual payout of 2,500 pesos, which will be deposited onto Bank of Well-Being cards. This funding is specifically intended for purchasing school supplies and uniforms, helping to lessen the financial burden on families. As MExico works towards enhancing educational accessibility, this scholarship program reflects an ongoing commitment to support disadvantaged students and families.

Overall, the Rita Cetina Scholarship not only aims to alleviate some of the economic pressures faced by families but also seeks to ensure that children from lower-income backgrounds can participate in the education system with the necessary resources. The emphasis on widespread inclusion indicates a government effort to improve educational equity across the country, fostering an environment where all children have the opportunity to succeed academically.
