Temporary Financial Aid (Ayuda Económica Transitoria) is a limited Cognita program that provides partial tuition support for eligible students. It covers up to 50% of the annual tuition for a single academic year, is contingent on available enrollment and vacancies, and is not automatically renewable for successive years. The Cognita board approves the maximum grant amount for each school in July each year. Applications are individual, and guardians applying for multiple students must submit separate documentation for each. Renewal requires re‑submission of updated documents within the stated deadlines. The application does not guarantee a seat, and some cases may be decided with a waitlist. To apply, guardians submit the completed application form (including a sworn statement) and all required documents, with CAET (the Transitional Economic Aid Committee) evaluating and determining the applicable discount for the following year. Required documents are grouped into general documents (identification for guardian and student, birth certificate or family book, etc.), income/employment documents (payslips, proof of contributions, tenure, etc.), housing documents (property certificate, rent receipts, mortgage certificate), and other supporting materials (medical certificates if applicable). The 2026 call is titled Convocatoria 2026 and details are provided in the Bases y Formulario de Postulación a Ayuda Económica Transitoria 2026.
