Tuition Assistance

Affording MCS


Montessori Center School values diversity in our community, including socioeconomic diversity. Each year, the school dedicates a portion of its revenue to tuition assistance for children enrolled in our pre-primary through upper elementary programs. Families requesting tuition assistance should apply after you have been offered an admissions contract for an opening in our program by doing the following:


  1. Submit a tuition assistance application online through Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. There is a $35 non-refundable processing fee per family. If you encounter technical difficulties, please contact Blackbaud Financial Aid Management directly. Click here for application instructions. Please note that a complete tuition assistance application includes a family’s most recent year tax return. If you are planning to apply for tuition assistance for the 2024-25 school year, you will need a complete/filed 2023 IRS tax return on file.

  2. Questions regarding MCS's tuition assistance program should be directed to Birgit Crable, [email protected].

  3. When applications have been verified by Blackbaud Financial Aid, the applications are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, a Sub Committee of the Finance Committee of the Board. Application names are removed for the review and award process by the Financial Aid Committee. Families will be notified 2-3 weeks after their application has been verified by Blackkbaud.


Montessori Center School admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. It does not discriminate programs on the basis of race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, color, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational programs, admission policies, tuition assistance programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
