Scholarship

Houston Montessori Center does not fund or provide scholarships nor does HMC participate in any lending or student loan.

HMC Alumni and some schools contribute to an annual scholarship program, which is collected by HMC and administered by an alumni committee. Scholarship application requirements are:

1. Submit application for scholarship to the committee with

2. Personal statement for need.

3. Financial Statement and copy of tax form. Income single or joint must be under $20,000.00

Applicants will be informed of a date and time to bring applications to the committee. The committee will interview the applicant and ask for a short written essay.

There are two levels of scholarships awarded:

In-service scholarships to persons who have worked at least two years in a Montessori environment, demonstrated high standards of competency, dedication, and responsibility as documented by strong recommendations from the administrator and lead teacher. This level is also available to certified Montessori teachers who desire to rain at a new level.

Pre-service grants-in-aid to persons already attending the teacher education program. This grant is made to applicants only after the summer course is successfully completed and the field consultant (and mentor teacher where appropriate) recommend the candidate for credential after the second visit.

Applicants will be notified of an award and the amount will be deducted from their tuition.
