The National Scholarship and Educational Credit Program (Pronabec) of the Ministry of Education, in charge of the contest, shares the four steps they must follow to continue in competition for one of the 5,184 comprehensive scholarships that allow them to study a professional career with expenses covered.
Only those who are preselected can participate in this phase. To confirm this, you must review the official list published on the contest page. Once your condition has been verified, the first step is to review the bases that contain the schedule, requirements, the score table, the documents required for the application and other details.
The second step is to enter the Support and Guidance Platform (pao.pronabec.gob.pe), which contains information on the educational offerings of eligible institutes, schools and universities, as well as vocational guidance content and resources to reinforce academic knowledge. This tool allows you to make informed decisions before choosing the career to follow.
The third step is to choose the career, the higher education institution and the location where you will study. After that, they must apply and enter the chosen institution and obtain their final admission certificate or certificate. The contest gives higher scores to those who access public institutions, choose careers with high labor demand - according to EDO 2026 - in Higher Technological Education Institutions, or decide to train in regions with lower enrollment, among other criteria.
The fourth step is to apply for the selection stage through the Sibec Module, available on the contest website: www.pronabec.gob.pe/beca-18/ This process is virtual and free, that is, it can be carried out at any time, including weekends, according to the schedule established at the two available times. The deadline for the first moment is until March 6 at 11:59 p.m., while the second moment will take place from April 6 to 27, also until 11:59 p.m.
In the Sibec module, the Official Certificate of Studies or the Certificate of Learning Achievements for completed secondary school must be attached, if required, and the academic performance of the last two secondary school grades can be reviewed. Likewise, the academic information of the chosen career and institution must be completed and the proof of admission must be uploaded. The application culminates with the electronic signature on the platform, so the data and files must be carefully reviewed to avoid observations.
It is important to remember that those shortlisted must remain attentive to the list of selected candidates that Pronabec will publish on March 31 for the first moment and on May 25 for the second moment. Those who appear in it must accept the scholarship within the period established in the schedule; otherwise, they will lose the benefit.
