• You must complete your Auxiliares de Conversación or Language Assistant program by the time of enrollment, though you may be currently in the program during the time of application.

Deadline

The deadline for applying to the academic year in Madrid option is March 15, and there is limited funding for this option. Aid awards are offered on a first come, first served basis. If you need funding to attend, you are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
