Spanish term or phrase: escenario de pensión con escalas
Hello fellow linguists,
Has anyone come across this expression before in the context of university education? It is a category within a feasibility study projecting student intakes for a university in Peru. It also covers personnel numbers so I was wondering if this might be referring to personnel pensions. This is the first time there has been mention of it made in the text so I am afraid there isn't much context to go on.

I thought it could mean: 'tiered pension scheme' ?

I would be grateful if anyone could help shed any light on this or confirm if my suspicions are correct.
Thank you in advance.

staggered grant context
Explanation:
In line with the reference provided by Taña, this does not refer to a pension, but to something similar to a grant, an economical contribution to something, in this case, studies.
"Escala" refers to the different bands that determine the value you'd receive, for example, in the reference provided by Taña, "El grado en la Escala de Pensiones se asigna considerando dos aspectos" Meaning that your band in the staggered grant will be assigned considering two aspects.

¿Cómo se determina la escala de pagos?
Primero se busca determinar la capacidad de gasto en educación de cada familia y para ello la Universidad cuenta con la Oficina de Servicios de Apoyo Social que depende de la Dirección de Asuntos Estudiantiles. Dicha oficina está integrada por un equipo de trabajadoras sociales especializadas en evaluar la situación socioeconómica familiar.

El grado en la Escala de Pensiones se asigna considerando dos aspectos:
La situación socioeconómica de la familia.
La capacidad de subvención que tiene la Universidad.

Proceso de clasificación de los alumnos nuevos en la escala de pensiones
El colegio de procedencia es uno de los datos que se toma en cuenta, pero no se asigna el grado de acuerdo con el colegio sino en función de la validación de la información socioeconómica familiar.

Para ello, inmediatamente después de publicados los resultados de admisión, la familia del recién admitido que desea solicitar una subvención deberá registrar la información socioeconómica en la Declaración Jurada del campus virtual, la que debe imprimir para la entrevista.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thank you Taña, this is very helpful in clarifying that it is in fact nothing to do with 'pension' in the English sense of the word but more 'tuition fees' it would appear from the context you have provided.
