Tuition Assistance Checklist

Gladwyne Montessori provides need-based tuition assistance to enable children of families who are committed to Montessori education to attend our school. FACTs serves as a third party processor of applicant data. Once an application is submitted, FACTs will verify entries. Reports then become accessible for review by the Tuition Assistance Committee. 

IMPORTANT DATES AND DEADLINES

• Tuition Assistance applications open - October 1
• Tuition Assistance application deadline for current families - December 15
• Tuition Assistance application deadline for Regular Admission - January 7 **Applications accepted on a rolling basis post January 7 
• Enrollment Agreements due (current students)  - January 27
• Enrollment Agreements due (new students)  - February 15

Families applying for admission indicate their intention to apply for tuition assistance on the application. Returning students receiving tuition assistance are automatically emailed tuition assistance reminders.

The Director of Admissions and Enrollment Management will email all new applicants and current families who receive assistance in the month of November to share important information and reminders.

Families of applicants for admission must be mindful that they do not wait for an admission decision before completing the process but complete both processes in tandem. All families, including new applicants and current Gladwyne Montessori families, must meet deadlines if they wish to be considered for tuition assistance.

The school will process a tuition assistance application in January, as soon as all required forms have been received, therefore it is in your best interest to complete and submit the necessary documents as soon as possible. Late requests for tuition assistance will be considered only if funds are still available. If you have any questions related to the tuition assistance process, please contact the Director of Admissions, Becca Williams, bwilliams@gladwyne.org, 610-649-1761 ext. 105.
