We are excited to announce that we have been awarded a limited amount of partial preschool scholarships by Quality First for the 2025-2026 School Year. Scholarships will be awarded to qualified families with preschoolers registered at Camelview, MTA, Rose Lane, Heights and Simis preschools.
Scholarships are income based and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. We will be accepting applications beginning Thursday, June 5th at the NEW Madison Community Education office from 8:00 a.m through 4:30 p.m.
Completed applications should be delivered to the Community Education office (1431 E. Campbell Phoenix, AZ 85014 enter our own parking lot off of 14th street next to the football field). If you are not able to bring your application and supporting documents in person on June 5th, you may scan and email it to rsotelo@madisoned.org starting at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 5th.
Scholarships for the current school year do not automatically renew for the 2025-2026 school year- you will have to complete the new 2025-2026 application and provide up to date supporting documentation. Please submit your application only if it is completed with ALL required documentation to be considered for a scholarship award. Incomplete applications cannot be a placeholder for award consideration and will not be accepted.
To apply, please fill out the application and deliver it with all supporting documentation to us on Thursday, June 5th at the new Community Education office. Scholarships are awarded on a first come first served basis when all paperwork and supporting documents are provided. We will review applications and notify you before the July 1st payment is due.
PROP 314 Information
Thank you for your participation in the Quality First Scholarships Program.
While remaining compliant with state law and program participation expectations, Madison School District programming would like to pass along this information directly From Quality First regarding updates to the Quality First scholarship application:
On November 25, 2024, Prop. 314, the Arizona Immigration and Border Law Enforcement Measure, was signed into law in Arizona. This new law represents a significant effort in Arizona to increase state and local authorities’ involvement in carrying out immigration enforcement responsibilities. Part of this law affects Quality First Scholarship eligibility.
While documentation of lawful presence for QF Scholarship recipients in the Family Application is already required, one aspect of the new law adds an extra step to the existing requirement. This step requires Quality First to verify the validity of an applicant’s documentation of lawful presence by using a federal database (SAVE) run by the USCIS only when the applicant is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national.
If this requirement impacts you as a scholarship applicant, please see the attached document and refer to pages 7-11 of the Quality First Scholarship Family Application. There, you can read all requirements to better prepare for additional documentation you may need.
As always, Quality First scholarships are limited. We want all families to be aware of this application change, as well as the general need to be best prepared to provide a completed and accurate application for qualification consideration.
