The Ministry of Education launched the second call to participate in the Progress Scholarshipsso that more young people and adults throughout the country can complete or resume their studies.
The program which operates through the ANSES (National Social Security Administration) offers an economic stimulus, since the objective of the Progress Scholarships is that all people between the ages of 18 and 24 “complete compulsory education and advance to tertiary or university studies”.
Consequently, registration to all lines of Progress Scholarships will remain open until next August 31; while for the beneficiaries of Progresar Trabajo it will remain open all year.
