With the start of the 2024-2025 school year just around the corner, thousands of Mexican students who are beneficiaries of the Benito Juárez Scholarship are eagerly awaiting the first payment of this program.

However, one question has been on the minds of many: Will there be an extra payment this year? This question has generated a wave of uncertainty, especially since, so far, the authorities have not provided official confirmation on the possibility of additional support.

The Benito Juárez Scholarship, which has been a fundamental pillar in supporting public education in Mexico, has as its main objective to provide financial support to students at all educational levels, from basic to higher education.

Despite the stability that this scholarship provides, recent speculation about a possible extra payment has raised a number of questions among beneficiaries. The current context, marked by inflation and the increase in the cost of living, has made many families even more dependent on these resources, and the idea of ​​receiving an additional amount could represent a significant relief.

This program, designed to reduce school dropouts and promote equal opportunities, offers monthly support of 2,575 pesos during the 10 months of the school year, with the first of the next school year being in September.

However, the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) and the National Coordination of Scholarships for the Well-being of Benito Juárez (CNBBBJ) have maintained a prudent silence regarding an extra payment. This secrecy has led students and their families to seek information from various sources, often coming across rumors or unverified information, which has increased the general confusion.

For the moment, the only thing that is certain is that the beneficiaries will receive the payment corresponding to the month of September. If an additional payment is made, it would be news that would undoubtedly delight thousands of students and their families, who see in this scholarship not only financial support, but also a crucial tool to continue their education.

Authorities are called upon to clear up doubts as soon as possible to provide certainty and peace of mind to students and their families. Meanwhile, the return to school is shaping up to be a new chapter in the educational history of thousands of young Mexicans, who continue their academic path with the support of the government.
