Female university students in Quintana Roo benefiting from the scholarship program

A total of 3,660 students at public higher-education institutions in Quintana Roo were selected as beneficiaries of the Scholarship Program for Women in Higher Education (BMES) for its January–June 2026 round, whose beneficiary list has now been published by the Quintana Roo Education Ministry (SEQ).

Each beneficiary receives 1,500 pesos a month for six months, equal to 9,000 pesos per student over the period. The program, funded entirely with state resources, aims to reduce school dropout and help more young women continue and complete their university studies, according to the education agency.

To gauge its scope: the program began in September 2023 and, as of June 2026, has benefited 17,354 women across the state, including students in Cancún and the Benito Juárez municipality, home to much of the state's public university enrollment.

How to check if you are a beneficiary. The official list is available on the SEQ portal (seq.qroo.gob.mx). The recommendation is to check it directly there and avoid intermediaries or links that request payment: the process and the scholarship are free, and no legitimate step charges to add a student to the list. Anyone with questions about payment status can go to the Education Ministry, which manages the subsidy.

For the next call. The program runs in periods, so students who did not get a spot this round should watch for the next call, usually published in the first months of the year through the SEQ's official channels. Typical criteria for this type of support include being enrolled at a public higher-education institution in the state and meeting the socioeconomic and academic requirements set by the current call.
