📋 Tender Overview
Those selected must accept the scholarship to access its benefits, which cover academic and non-academic costs. Those who did not win, or did not participate, will be able to do so in the second moment.This Tuesday, March 31, the National Scholarship and Educational Credit Program (Pronabec) of the Ministry of Education will publish the list of the winners of the first moment of Beca 18, call 2026, through its website www.pronabec.gob.pe/beca-18/.
They will be able to study a professional career with comprehensive coverage from the State during all their years of training. The scholarship covers academic and non-academic costs, such as tuition and fees, the admission exam or folder--if you have entered a public institution--as well as food, accommodation, local mobility, among others.
The Minister of Education, Maria Esther Cuadros, highlighted that the first winners, who will be selected, are students of high academic performance who have prioritized studying in their regions and chosen a professional career required in the country.
The winners of this first moment correspond to 30% of the 5,184 scholarships offered by the 2026 call. They were selected in strict order of merit that took into account the score obtained, the application modality and prioritized criteria, such as having chosen a high-demand career, according to the 2026 Occupational Demand Survey, in technological higher education institutions, as well as opting for a public entity.
It should be noted that the amounts of scholarships are divided by type of institution, that is, by technological institutes and schools, and by universities and pedagogical schools. A number of exclusive vacancies is also established for each of the 10 modalities. If any scholarship is void, it will be distributed in the same way in the second moment.
Those selected will be notified by email and through their Sibec electronic mailbox about the score obtained and the next steps to follow to be awarded the benefits of the comprehensive scholarship. After that, they must accept it from Wednesday, April 1 to Monday, April 7, in the Sibec module using an electronic signature. If they do not complete this step by the deadline, they will lose their status as selected and will not be awarded the benefits.
Second moment
Those preselected who did not win one of the vacancies in the first moment, or did not participate, will be able to do so in the second moment of the competition, which will distribute the remaining 70% of scholarships. Your application runs from April 6 to April 27 (11:59 p.m.) and will be done virtually and free of charge through the web. To participate, they must have entered a higher education institution, with an eligible degree and location.
