The Ministry of Education in Mexico has confirmed the payment schedule for the Rita Cetina Scholarship designated for secondary school students for the first bimonthly disbursement of 2026. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to provide financial support for families enrolled in a secondary education program. The announced schedule specifies that the first deposits will begin on February 16, with different dates outlined according to the first letter of the students' surnames.

Julio León Trujillo, the head of the National Coordination of Scholarships for Benito Juárez Welfare, detailed the payment procedure which aligns with previous years. Beneficiaries will receive a total support of 1,900 pesos deposited directly into their Bank of Wellbeing cards. The schedule's structure is designed to distribute payments in a fair manner, allowing families to access funds staggered by surname, encouraging organized withdrawals.

This financial support underscores the government's commitment to ensuring that students have the resources necessary for their education, especially in secondary school, which is a pivotal stage in their academic journey. By providing timely assistance, it aims to lessen the financial burden on families and encourage educational continuity; it also reflects ongoing welfare strategies that prioritize educational access for Mexican youth.
