Financial Aid

Jarrow Montessori School is committed to supporting families who cannot meet the full expense of current tuition rates. The Financial Aid program was created to assist families with tuition in the form of need-based grants. The Financial Aid Committee is dedicated to awarding these funds to as many eligible families as possible who desire an authentic Montessori education for their children.

Distributions are determined yearly in February for the following academic year, however, some funds are reserved for rolling admission needs. This is based on the number of applicants and the amount of money that the school has allocated for aid. The actual amount granted per family may change from year to year based on the need of the applicants and the budgetary restraints of the School. Award of aid one year does not guarantee future aid, but previous recipients are given priority. 

The financial aid allocation is decided by the Financial Aid Committee and the Principal. The Parents’ Financial Aid Statement and results are considered private and confidential information by Jarrow Montessori School. The information is used only to determine your families’ need for assistance in offsetting the cost of tuition.

For a student to be considered for financial aid, the student must either be currently enrolled at the School or have an Admissions Application on file for the next enrollment period.

Financial aid funding comes primarily from the school’s fundraising activities, as well as the school’s operating budget. While financial aid grants are gifts to students and families that do not need to be repaid, it is hoped that, when possible, a portion of these grants will be replenished by the recipient family at some later date in order to provide opportunities for future students applying for aid. Families granted financial assistance are also expected to give back to Jarrow through volunteerism.
