Scholarships

Montessori Training Center Northeast Scholarship Funds

The Montessori Training Center Northeast (MTCNE) manages two distinct scholarship funds for students seeking AMI training as a diploma only or as part of a degree pathway at the University of Hartford. The scholarship application is open to all with priority given to those demonstrating financial need, commitment to the Montessori profession, and underrepresented students in the Montessori teaching profession.

Black Montessori Education Fund 

The Black Montessori Education Fund (BMEF) believes that education has the power to positively transform lives.  Historically, within the African-American community, education was seen as a vehicle for liberation.  The BMEF envisions an educational approach that places value on the racial, cultural, economic and spiritual background of all and seeks to support the wholistic development of each individual to their fullest potential.
