Madrid opens applications for 2026/27 Bachillerato scholarships with over 43 million euros and a deadline of 26 May

Thousands of families in Madrid have an important date from today for the next school year. The Comunidad de Madrid has opened the application period for the 2026/27 Bachillerato scholarships, financial aid aimed at students in concerted and private schools to help reduce the economic impact of this stage of education.

The call has a budget of over 43 million euros and will allow more than 17,000 students to access this support. Applications are open until 26 May and must be submitted digitally through the institutional portal or the Cuenta Digital, streamlining the process and making access easier.

The programme does not affect students at public schools, where Bachillerato remains free. Its aim is to complement the educational offer and ensure that the choice of school 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, this support is crucial when planning academic futures.

The scholarship system has become a key tool within Madrid's educational model, especially in areas with a high number of concerted and private schools.

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.
