Mexico City Opens Registration for 2026 Transportation Scholarship, Offers Up to $7,500 MXN
Mexico City, February 15 – The registration period for the 2026 Transportation and More Scholarship in Mexico City has officially commenced, offering a significant financial incentive of up to $7,500 Mexican pesos bi-monthly to university students enrolled in public institutions. This new initiative, spearheaded by the Secretariat of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation (SECTEI), aims to provide crucial economic support to young people facing transportation costs.
The program is expected to be highly competitive, as SECTEI has imposed a limited quota for registrations in February 2026. This has prompted an urgent call for interested students to complete their applications promptly, given the high demand reported within the first hours of the registration opening.
Increased Bi-Monthly Payment and Online Registration
A key enhancement in this cycle is the confirmed increase in the bi-monthly payment for beneficiaries, making the scholarship a more substantial aid for those pursuing higher education in the capital. This adjustment positions the scholarship as a more attractive and impactful financial assistance option for students.
The registration process is entirely electronic, accessible through SECTEI’s official online platform. Applicants are required to have their Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) readily available, along with an active personal email account. Upon successful completion of the registration, applicants must save their unique folio number for future reference.
Registration officially began on February 13, 2026, and aspiring students can initiate their applications by following the specific instructions detailed in the official call for applications published by SECTEI.
Due to the high volume of applicants, the system may experience temporary saturations. Authorities recommend patience and persistence during the registration process to ensure a successful submission.

The Government of Mexico City has outlined a specific set of criteria that applicants must meet to qualify for the scholarship:
