This article presents the research findings of a study about becas 6000, a recent cash transfer program in Spain dependent on school enrollment and achievement of low-income students involved in non-mandatory secondary education. The study is based on secondary data analysis of the becas 6000's records and in-depth interviews with target population and administrative managers. The mechanisms and conditions of the program are presented and its idiosyncrasies in relation to similar programs in other countries are exposed. An evaluation of the strong and weak points, as well as differential effects of the program is also offered based on several objective indicators and the experiences and opinions of the scholarship recipients.
