The Minister of Education, Maria Esther Cuadros, highlighted that the allocation of scholarships for technical careers responds to the Higher and Technical-Productive Education policy, aimed at training highly demanded professionals in the country.
Along these lines, he recalled that this type of education, taught in institutes and schools, lasts approximately three years and is characterized by practical training, focused on the development of skills for rapid job placement.
To ensure training at various levels of study, scholarships are distributed by type of institution. On the one hand, universities and pedagogical schools are grouped together; on the other, institutes and schools of higher education. In each group, a number of scholarships is established according to the application modality.
In this second moment, which is already underway, nearly half a thousand scholarships will be awarded, in strict order of merit, for technical careers in higher education institutes and schools. This figure includes both the vacancies foreseen in the bases and those that were vacant in the first moment and that are now redistributed among applicants of the same modality and type of institution.
Scholarship 18-2026 also grants additional points to those who choose careers with high labor demand, according to the Occupational Demand Survey (EDO) 2026, in technological higher education institutions, such as Mechanics and Metallurgy, Management and Administration, Accounting and Taxes, Nursing, Construction and Civil Engineering, among others. The list of races can be seen in the official competition list.
Those preselected who did not win the scholarship or did not apply in the first moment, and who meet the requirements, will be able to do so in the second moment until 11:59 p.m. m. on April 27. The process is virtual and free, only through the website www.pronabec.gob.pe/beca-18/.
