Tuition Assistance
Our Commitment
Greenspring Montessori School is committed to making its educational programs accessible to families of all socio-economic backgrounds. To do this, we award tuition assistance to families based upon financial need. Approximately one-third of our students receive tuition assistance.
Application and Award Process
Tuition assistance awards at Greenspring Montessori School are need-based, and are determined through a thorough evaluative process beginning with a family’s application through FACTS Management Company, a secure online program that evaluates a family’s ability to pay tuition based on a variety of factors. Among the factors considered are: income, net worth, housing costs, number of children paying tuition, and cost of living for our area.
Upon receiving the FACTS recommendation, Greenspring Montessori School’s Tuition Assistance Committee evaluates the recommended award based upon our applicant pool and available dollars. We evaluate each application on a case-by-case basis and review all applications comparatively to ensure equity and fairness in our decisions.
