Benito Juárez Scholarship defines payment schedule for students

Last dates to receive the support of 1,900 pesos. Learn the details of the dispersion schedule.

Dispersion Calendar for the Benito Juárez Scholarship

The Government of Mexico, through the National Coordination of Scholarships for Well-being, continues with the scheduled distribution of the financial support corresponding to the Benito Juárez Scholarship. This subsidy, essential for the high school student population, has the primary objective of combating school dropouts and guaranteeing the academic continuity of millions of young people in vulnerable situations. The dispersion of the resources, which amount to 1,900 pesos per beneficiary every two months, began last Monday and is carried out in accordance with a specific calendar established by the educational authorities.

The payment mechanism is applicable to all students, without distinction between mixed and school modalities, ensuring broad and inclusive coverage. The subsidy is delivered directly, without the intervention of intermediaries, to guarantee that the resource reaches its recipients in its entirety.

Schedule of Deposits and Beneficiaries for October 24

According to official information shared by Julio León, National Coordinator of Scholarships for Wellbeing, the deposit schedule is progressing as planned. For this Friday, October 24, the disbursement is specifically aimed at students whose last names begin with the letters “P”, “Q” and “R”. This procedure, organized alphabetically, speeds up the logistical process and allows scholarship recipients to anticipate receiving their financial support.

It is crucial to note that this date represents the penultimate day designated in the current dispersal calendar. Beneficiary students can withdraw their funds without incurring any type of commission or additional charge in the Bancos del Bienestar network, either through tellers (boxes) or using the institution’s ATMs. Students are recommended to come with their valid official identification to expedite the transaction.

Causes for Definitive Suspension of Economic Support

Permanence in the educational scholarships program is subject to compliance with a series of regulations and conditions established by the federal public administration. It is essential that scholarship recipients know the circumstances that may lead to the definitive loss of the subsidy. Among the most frequent causes are the death of the beneficiary and having received the scholarship for the maximum stipulated period of 40 months.

Likewise, the successful completion of higher secondary education studies or the discovery that these were completed prior to the application, entails the immediate suspension of payment. Another relevant cause is the simultaneous receipt of another maintenance scholarship granted by any entity or agency of the federal public administration, since these supports cannot be accumulated.

Finally, the provision of false information or the presentation of apocryphal documents during the registration process, as well as the voluntary request to withdraw from the program by the student, are grounds for cancellation of the benefit. The authorities emphasize that the scholarship recipient is the sole and direct person responsible for managing their support, urging them not to share personal data with third parties and to avoid any form of intermediation in the withdrawal of money, to prevent fraud and ensure the correct application of public resources.

Imports of Mexican cattle to the US resume

Following a health agreement, the US will reopen the port of Douglas, Arizona, for Mexican cattle.

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the United States will resume importing Mexican cattle starting the last week of August. The decision came after an official communication from the US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins.

Reopening schedule

The reopening will begin at the border port of Agua Prieta, Sonora, linked to the Douglas crossing, Arizona. August 24 will be the first date of operation. Later, two additional points will be enabled in Chihuahua, subject to compliance with the Joint Action Plan against screwworm.

Sheinbaum instructed federal agencies to accelerate coordination with US authorities. He highlighted the work of the Secretary of Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, and the director of Senasica, Columba López, to strengthen health measures.

  • The animals will enter with complete inspections to verify that they do not show signs of the plague.
  • Later, the opening of the ports of Santa Teresa and Columbus, in New Mexico, will be evaluated.

The president described the news as positive for Mexican ranchers, who for months contained the spread of the screwworm. He appreciated Rollins’ willingness to maintain an institutional relationship.

Rollins, for his part, stated that the protection of the US livestock industry remains a priority and that the temporary closure of crossings was necessary to reduce risks. The reopening is possible thanks to binational collaboration.

Operational in the port of Manzanillo

Federal authorities seized more than eight million allegedly apocryphal cigarettes in the port of Manzanillo, Colima. The operation was coordinated by agencies of the security cabinet and the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM).

Personnel from the ANAM and the Administrative Unit of the Manzanillo Customs detected inconsistencies in an operation to import cigarettes from abroad. This led to a specialized review.

As a result of the inspections, the authorities located 8 million 436 presumably counterfeit cigarettes. The merchandise was insured with the support of the Secretary of the Navy (Semar).

The ANAM reported that this type of operations are part of the permanent mechanisms of operational intelligence, risk management and strategic analysis. The objective is to strengthen security in foreign trade operations and detect documentary irregularities or goods of illicit origin.

The comprehensive analysis of the operation made it possible to reinforce documentary traceability, operational review and validation of commercial profiles. The authorities maintain surveillance at entry points into the country to combat illegal trade.

Perception of insecurity drops to 59.8%: Sheinbaum

Perception of insecurity in Mexico drops to 59.8%, the lowest figure since 2018.

ENSU results

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the perception of insecurity in urban areas fell to 59.8% in June 2026, according to the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU) of the INEGI. In December 2025 it was 63.8%, which represents six consecutive months of decline.

“The important thing here is that we are giving results in the security indicators and people are beginning to notice this decrease,” he said during the morning conference in Cuernavaca, Morelos.

Historical comparison

Sheinbaum recalled that in December 2018, under the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the perception of insecurity was 73.7%. The previous lowest point was reached in September 2024 at 58.6%. The president attributed the improvement to the National Security Strategy.

The ENSU measures citizens’ feeling of insecurity in their environment. Recent data reflects a positive trend, although the challenge remains to maintain the reduction in crime. The authorities continue to implement actions to consolidate these results.
