The distribution of cards for the Rita Cetina Scholarship program is actively underway across Mexico, with the process initiated on May 18 and slated for completion by July 31. This initiative aims to support families with children enrolled in any grade of primary school.
Each beneficiary student will receive 2,500 pesos, disbursed annually. The program's objective is to help families cover costs associated with school supplies and uniforms, thereby reducing school dropout rates among children and adolescents in public primary education institutions nationwide.
Beneficiaries receiving their cards are advised to follow specific verification steps. It is crucial to ensure the card's envelope is sealed and undamaged. Upon opening, recipients must confirm that the card's details accurately match the information of the person who applied for the scholarship and that the numbers on both the card and the envelope are identical.
Furthermore, recipients are instructed not to share the provisional PIN provided with the envelope, as it can be changed after the first payment is deposited. The card must be collected by the parent or guardian who applied for the scholarship. It is essential to remain at the distribution module until all information is confirmed. Any discrepancies or irregularities should be reported immediately to the program's educational servers.
