Madrid opens 2026/27 Baccalaureate grants with more than €43 million and a deadline of 26 May
Thousands of Madrid families have a key date for the next school year from today. The Community of Madrid has opened applications for 2026/27 Baccalaureate grants, aid for students at state-subsidised and private schools that seeks to reduce the financial impact of this educational stage.
The call for applications involves an investment of over 43 million euros and will allow more than 17,000 students to access these grants. The application period is open until 26 May, and applications are submitted digitally through the institutional portal or the Cuenta Digital, which streamlines the process and makes access easier.
The programme does not affect students at public institutes, where Bachillerato remains free. Its aim is to complement the educational offer and ensure that the choice of centre does not depend solely on each family's financial situation.
The measure responds to growing demand at a non-compulsory stage where costs can make a difference. In many households, these grants are decisive when planning academic futures.
The scholarship system has become a key tool within the Madrid educational model, especially in areas with a high presence of concerted and private centres.
In a context of rising living costs, this type of aid has a direct impact on family finances. Beyond education, it influences everyday decisions and allows many families to keep their options open without giving up their educational preferences.
