What Happened
The Institute for the Training and Use of Human Resources, known as Ifarhu, has opened the process for receiving academic and banking documents from university students who already hold active scholarships and economic aid granted before 2026.
The procedure is aimed exclusively at higher education beneficiaries and is intended to keep their payments and support programs active. Students are being asked to submit the required paperwork on time and in full to avoid interruptions in their benefits.
Schedule in Panama City
At the central office, document intake begins on April 14, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The process is being organized by university and faculty according to a daily calendar, with attention limited to those previously scheduled.
Ifarhu said the system is designed to manage the flow of students in an orderly way and to ensure that each group is handled according to the established timetable.
Regional Offices Across the Country
In the regional offices, document delivery will take place throughout the country under each office’s own schedule. That means students outside the capital will need to follow the dates and instructions set for their local branch.
The nationwide process is part of Ifarhu’s regular administration of scholarship and aid programs, which support students at the university level across Panama. These benefits are a key part of the agency’s role in helping students continue their studies.
Why It Matters
For many university students, scholarship payments and economic assistance help cover tuition, transportation, and other study-related costs. Keeping documents current is a necessary step in maintaining those benefits and avoiding delays in processing.
Students can check the detailed calendar by faculty and office through Ifarhu’s official website. The agency is directing beneficiaries to review their assigned dates carefully and comply with the documentation requirements established for their schedule.
