Aid and Scholarships

Making Montessori Education Accessible

At Cross of Life Montessori, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. While we are a tuition-based school, our financial aid program helps make Montessori education possible for families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. We are proud to offer two scholarship opportunities, the Apogee Scholarship and the Seedlings Scholarship. The process described below applies to both programs.

Families receiving financial aid must reapply each year and are expected to contribute toward tuition. Financial aid applications open in February for the upcoming school year. Contact the office for an application.

Support the Cross of Life Montessori Apogee Scholarship Fund

You can make a real difference in a child’s education—and receive a dollar-for-dollar Georgia state tax credit—through our partnership with the Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund. Your contribution goes directly to tuition assistance, helping students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to thrive at Cross of Life Montessori.

The Financial Aid Tax Credit (FATC) program allows Georgia taxpayers to redirect state income tax dollars to support eligible students—ages 4–6, those transferring from public school, or children who have been homeschooled—so they can experience the benefits of a Montessori education.

It’s easy to give:
