Registration for the Benito Juárez 2025 Scholarship begins this October
The National Coordination of Scholarships for Wellbeing has announced the beginning of the registration process for the Benito Juárez Universal Scholarship, aimed at new students in upper secondary education. This financial support, essential for thousands of young people who attend high school or high school in public institutions in Mexico, opens its registration period during the first two weeks of October.
The main objective of this educational subsidy program is to combat school dropouts and guarantee that students can continue their studies without being limited by economic factors. This is a direct monetary transfer that seeks to encourage permanence and completion of the upper secondary level.
Key dates and eligibility requirements
The official period for registration on the digital platform will extend from Wednesday, October 1 to Tuesday, October 15, 2025. This fifteen-day interval represents the only window of opportunity for students to request the benefit corresponding to the 2025-2026 school year.
To be eligible, the student must be formally enrolled in any public high school, whether in school, mixed or non-school modality. The fundamental technical requirement is to have an active and validated MX Key account, which will serve as a unique digital identity to access the federal government’s social programs.
It is crucial to note that MX Key credentials previously generated by parents or guardians for other social assistance programs are not valid for this procedure. Each student must create their own account, even if they are a minor, since this digital identifier is linked personally and non-transferable to the direct beneficiary of the support.
Creation of the MX Key account: detailed technical process
For applicants who do not yet have this digital identifier, the creation procedure is as follows:
1. Access the official MX Key portal and select the “Create account” option.
2. Enter the Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) in the corresponding field, carefully verifying that there are no capture errors, since this data is the central axis of identification.
3. Register your home address. When you enter the zip code, the system will automatically complete the state, municipality and neighborhood fields.
4. Provide current contact information, specifically a cell phone number and a personal email address. Both will be verified via text messages and validation emails.
5. Establish a strong password that meets the established complexity parameters: minimum length of 8 characters, including at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one numeric digit.
6. Read carefully and accept the terms of the Privacy Notice to complete the registration.
Once this process is completed, the user will have a fully operational MX Key account, which will allow them not only to apply for the scholarship, but also to carry out various procedures and access social programs through official government portals.
Documentation required for scholarship registration
With the Llave MX account active, students must access the official website www.becabenitojuarez.gob.mx to complete the application form. The necessary documentation, which must be digitized in PDF format, includes:
· Work Center Code (CCT) of the educational institution where the student is enrolled.
· Recent proof of address, which may be a receipt for electricity, natural gas, property, drinking water, or a statement of account for telephone or internet services.
· Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) of the applicant. For minors, the CURP of the father, mother or legal guardian will also be required.
· Official identification in force. In the case of minor students, the identity document of the legal representative will also be attached. Accepted: Voting Credential (INE), Military Card, Professional Identification Card, Passport, Driver’s License or National Immigration Institute Credential.
· Contact information updated, specifically cell phone number and email address of parents or guardians in the case of minor students.
Characteristics of financial support and disbursements calendar
The Benito Juárez Universal Scholarship program establishes an amount of 1,900 Mexican pesos per two-month period, which is distributed throughout the ten effective months of the school year. This disbursement scheme can be extended to a maximum of 40 months, as long as the beneficiary maintains their status as an active student in the public education system.
It is important to specify that the months of July and August are not considered within the payment calendar, as they correspond to the official vacation period between school years. The financial transfer is made directly to a bank card specifically issued for this purpose.
Card delivery logistics and next steps
Once the registration period has concluded, the National Coordination of Scholarships for Wellbeing will begin the information validation process and the operational logistics for the distribution of the bank cards to the approved students. According to the official schedule, the call for the physical delivery of these plastics will be issued between the months of November and December 2025.
This educational social assistance program represents a fundamental tool in public policy aimed at reducing the economic barriers that young Mexicans face to access and remain in upper secondary education. The Benito Juárez 2025 Scholarship is thus consolidated as an essential component of the student social protection system in Mexico.
