Parent Recommendations:

Can the card balance be accumulated?

Since the Uniforms and School Supplies card was used for My Scholarship to Start, the deposit is cumulative and you can use it until December 31, 2019.

What products can the voucher be used on?

Remember that it is not exchanged for money, but if you no longer need to buy supplies and uniforms, you can buy products from the basic basket, except wine or cigarettes, according to parents.

For example, you can buy food to prepare snacks for your children or any material they need for their school activities.

In the event that when you go to an establishment your card has not made an error, even though you have verified your balance, you can go to Fidegar or send an email to Paga Todo to carry out a review. Here we tell you all the details and documents and/or data that you have to present via email or at the offices.

Resourcers and outsiders

Fidegar clarifies that in the event that the school year is repeated, you can be a beneficiary of the program for the simple fact of studying in primary, secondary or Basic Education Multiple Attention Centers.
