Peru-Argentina 2026 scholarship drives

Overview

In late July 2026, Peru’s Fondo de Capacitación para los Trabajadores de Construcción Civil (FONDECAPCC) announced an extension of its scholarship application deadline to 16 August, targeting civil‑construction workers and their families.

A week later, both Peru and Argentina opened new enrollment windows for broader scholarship programs. Argentina’s Progresar scheme launched a second 2026 enrollment period for compulsory‑education, higher‑education, and nursing tracks, offering a monthly stipend to eligible students. Meanwhile, Peru’s Beca 18 program began its fourth round of applications on 31 July, adding 2,000 new vacancies and keeping the window open until 9 August, covering tuition, fees, and living costs for university and technical studies.

Together, the announcements illustrate an expanding focus on financial support for students and workers in the two countries, with multiple programs extending deadlines and opening fresh application periods throughout August 2026.
