Financial Assistance
The application process for the 2025-2026 school year will open in January 2025. Applications are provided by our admissions director once families begin moving through the admissions process.
We partner with the Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) application process. We know that families who choose to send their children to our school make many sacrifices to ensure a bright and successful future for their kids.
If you will be a returning MSH family for the upcoming school year and would like to apply for financial assistance, you may submit your confidential FAST application between now and January 31. New families will be considered after February 1 through March 31. The cost of the application is $48 and is paid directly to FAST by either Visa or Mastercard. You will be asked to send in federal and state tax documents, and the application includes specific questions pertaining to your household expenses. Again, the information is completely confidential. FAST will use this information to make an Expected Family Contribution recommendation to MSH.
FAST allows MSH to offer need-based scholarships through an efficient and confidential application process.
The Montessori School of Huntsville also proudly accepts the following scholarships for Elementary & Middle school aged children, please visit their website for more information.
