Tuition Assistance

​

During its four+ decades of serving Brooklyn families, the Montessori Day School of Brooklyn has thrived on its social and economic diversity. To continue to encourage that diversity, we created a Tuition Assistance Program. Families are invited to apply for assistance. Depending on need and available funds, families may be awarded a tuition reduction of up to 65% for the school year. These awards are funded with a portion of the school’s general budget, as well as generous donations from other MDS families, community member, and outside donors.

​

We use an outside company, TADS, to receive and evaluate financial information. TADS provides a committee of MDS staff and board members with financial need information that then determines eligibility. All applications are kept strictly confidential.

​

Tuition Assistance Applications

​

Tuition assistance applications for the 2024-2025 school year are accepted from September 1st, 2023 through December 14, 2023.

​

IMPORTANT: Families will need to separately apply for MDS admission following all admission application deadlines and paying the required admissions application fee. Submitting the Tuition Assistance Application through TADS does not constitute applying for school admission.  

​

Please note, a tuition assistance application must be made for each year in which a family wishes to be considered for aid.

​

TADS will inform families directly about what documents they need to submit.

​

These may include:

• supporting tax documentation (i.e. W2, recent pay stubs, federal tax form 1040, 1099, etc.)

• utility bills

• rent or mortgage payment information

• debt information i.e. (credit card debt, loans, medical bills)
