Country Day Montessori Alumni Scholarship
Due: Deadline has passed
Amount: $500.00 - $1,000.00
Scholarship Information
At Country Day Montessori we believe that Montessori education lays the foundation for lifelong growth, confidence, and purpose. Research has shown that children who attend a high-quality Montessori program develop stronger executive function skills, such as problem-solving, self-discipline, and adaptability, than their peers. These skills help shape a child's ability to set goals, make decisions, and pursue their unique path in life.
To support our former students in their continued journey, we are offering the Country Day Montessori Alumni Scholarship to those pursuing a four-year college, two-year college, or trade school.
