Financial Aid

Financial aid applications are now open for the 2025/26 school year. Please read the information below thoroughly to learn about our program and how to submit your application. Priority is given to current families, and to new families who submit their school application by the ISAAGNY deadline (January 9th, 2025).

Our limited, need-based financial aid program relies on the fundraising efforts of the school’s parent body. Please note:

  • MMS is only able to offer a limited number of small financial aid awards. Full tuition awards are not available at this time. 

  • Families earning $200,000 in adjusted gross income or less are eligible for consideration for financial aid – this income restriction may be modified based on extenuating circumstances.

  • Due to our limited funds, we do not offer financial aid for the two-day Toddler Program or the Young Toddlers Together program.

  • Please note that financial aid awards may be used only for the specific program for which you apply. If you wish to move your child to an alternate program after receiving an aid award, a revised application must be submitted in consultation with our Financial Aid team.

Applications are redacted to ensure anonymity and submitted to our Financial Aid Team for review. This team is comprised of school administrators who work in consultation with Morningside Montessori School’s Board of Trustees.
