Scholarship Information
of SCM
students
receive
financial aid.
Approximately 30%-40% of our students receive scholarships to attend SCM, and the average financial aid award is approximately $6,500. Financial aid packets are available in February. Families who have received financial aid will automatically receive a new packet for the upcoming year.
Parents send their financial information directly to an outside service, which determines each family’s financial resources available to use toward tuition, and then makes a corresponding recommendation to the school. The Financial Aid Committee makes the awards based on the recommendations and available funds. Through its financial aid policies, Santa Cruz Montessori is committed to doing everything it can to keep our current families and to support economic diversity within the school.
