Bursaries

From time to time, Northside Montessori Society offers bursaries for part or full assistance for basic Tuition Fees for students.

Bursaries are awarded on the basis of means testing and a strong commitment to the Montessori education system.  The bursaries continue while the student is in attendance at Northside Montessori School, as long as the bursary criteria continue to be met.  Bursaries are reviewed annually.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pre-Primary Bursary

Applications are invited for a Northside Montessori School Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander Pre-Primary Bursary to be offered in 2009. This bursary is being offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who are keen to give their children a Montessori education, but would not otherwise be able to afford the school fees.  One bursary is available for children 3 years to 3 years and 9 months.

A Montessori education provides a unique environment that nurtures confidence, responsibility and independent learning at each child's own rate of development.

Full or partial tuition fee remission is awarded to the successful applicant beginning in Term 1 2009.  The initial bursary is for 3 years (comprising the 3-6 cycle); the child's continued attendance at Northside Montessori School is reviewed at this time.  Bursaries are reviewed annually.

Criteria for deciding the bursary include financial need, a strong commitment to the Montessori education system and Aboriginality.
