They must be enrolled or accepted in upper secondary, higher or postgraduate schools, as well as; in technical careers, language schools and schools that provide job training. The credit is so flexible that it can be used only when necessary, we must not forget that since it is a reimbursable credit, it must be paid so that other young people can benefit from the support.
The organizations that finance the postgraduate scholarships, their characteristics, requirements and financial contributions will be described below so that young people with Bachelor's degrees can prepare more and have more opportunities in the workplace.
The National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) is a decentralized public body of the Mexican federal government dedicated to promoting and stimulating the development of science and technology in that country.

FIDERH, the Fund for the Development of Human Resources, is a trust of the Mexican government that was created in 1971 by Banco de México and the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.

Through international links, we support the professional training of students who wish to carry out postgraduate programs in their country or abroad, through scholarships and study grants within the most prestigious universities.
The scholarships awarded by the Fundación Beca are non-refundable, which is why it requires support from individuals, companies, governments and institutions, national and international, in order to fulfill its mission, the Foundation has two forms of support:
Larger donations: Companies, governments and institutions can support the various areas of FB's work and through the granting of monthly, semi-annual or annual donations.
To conclude, I will answer the question posed at the beginning of this essay, Do the bodies in charge of granting scholarships to universities manage to supply all students? These financial supports are granted in order to contribute to the student's economy, since they are people with limited resources, unfortunately not all are benefited, according to the newspaper La Jornada (2013) in Mexico, 18.75 percent correspond to students of higher education, from the which approximately 10 percent have had some type of scholarship during their professional career.
While it is true that the agencies do a great job in supporting young people who want to get ahead, however, not all of them manage to meet their needs, since the institutions also have a limited government budget that covers a certain number of university students, in addition to that scholarships are sometimes not given to those who really need it, leaving the rest without support to continue their careers.
As an effect of this cause, young people decide not to start their professional career or worse still abandon their studies joining a large list of university students who drop out due to lack of financial resources, leaving the opportunity to perform as a person and provide professionals to our country.
