Scholarships The ASM Scholarship Program exists thanks to generous donations to the Scholarship Fund and the annual Gala. Thanks to donors, ASM can offer the ASM learning experience to talented students who would not otherwise be able to join ASM, and applicants are asked to demonstrate a high level of English and a commitment to contribute positively to the ASM community. The Scholarship Fund is for exceptional Upper School students, starting with two beneficiaries in Grade 9 (3º ESO/ British Year 10). It will cover up to 75% of school tuition and fees. Applications are now open for the 2026/2027 school year and close on Monday, February 23, 2026. Two applications are needed: a student application and a financial application. Two scholarships will be awarded to two students entering Grade 9 in September 2026; when the program is fully established, there will be up to 8 Upper School students (2 in each grade) receiving scholarships. Eligibility requirements include a strong academic record; near-native English (B2 Cambridge); a proven desire to be part of the ASM community; and values aligned with ASM. The scholarship lasts from Grade 9 through Grade 12 on a year-by-year basis and is funded by donations (scholarships are not paid from tuition). The scholarship covers up to 75% of tuition and fees (excluding additional costs such as trips). For families who are part of the ASM community and need help, ASM provides support for short-term financial hardship. Contact: scholarships@asmadrid.es; Duration: Grade 9–12 (year by year). | Scholarships The Community of Madrid has published a call for scholarships for the First Cycle of Early Childhood Education (0-3 years) in private centers authorized by the Community of Madrid for the 2025-2026 academic year. These scholarships are for families with children in the First Cycle of Early Childhood Education; their purpose is to promote access to quality early education and to support families in reconciling work and personal life. Application requirements include income and family situation criteria such as the child's age, per capita household income, and the employment status of the parents, as detailed in the Official Gazette (BOCM). The deadline for applications is June 4 to June 24 (inclusive). Casvi Tres Cantos offers an IB-based education and views scholarships as a valuable opportunity to access education from the early years. |
