Montessori Credential Grant Program
Program Details
Less than 5% of Montessori teachers identify as Black. We created this grant opportunity to help bridge the gap and invest in the future of Black leadership in Montessori learning environments.Selected applicants will have their tuition paid-in-full.
All payments are made directly to the training centers and this grant does not cover application fees, books, materials, or travel expenses.
We've invested more than $290,000 to provide tuition for 32 Black educators studying at training centers nationwide.
