About Financial Aid
Financial aid is awarded based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of Battery Park Montessori's financial aid funds. Each application is considered individually, taking into account a family’s overall financial circumstances.
Financial aid is applied toward tuition only and does not cover Early Care, Extended Day, enrichment classes, or other optional programs and services. Because financial aid funds are limited, submitting an application does not guarantee an award, and awards may cover only a portion of a family’s demonstrated need.
Financial aid and admissions are separate processes, and applying for financial aid does not affect a child’s consideration for admission to Battery Park Montessori.
Who Should Apply?
Families who feel that the full cost of tuition would place a significant strain on their financial resources are welcome to apply. There is no single income level that determines eligibility. A family’s overall financial picture—including income, assets, liabilities, household size, expenses, and other relevant circumstances—is considered when determining financial need.
Because financial aid funds are limited, we encourage families seeking assistance to complete their application by the applicable deadline.
