$5,000 SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY
We are thrilled to announce a special opportunity for students entering grades 3–8 who are not yet enrolled at HMS: a chance to receive a $5,000 scholarship toward tuition!

Who Can Apply?
1. Students entering grades 3rd-8th
2. New Students Only
How to Participate
Students may choose one of the following ways to share why they want to attend a Montessori school:
📝 Write an essay (between 300–500 words)

Your submission should:
-
Tell us a little about who you are
-
Share what makes you excited about learning
-
Explain why you think Harbor Montessori School would be a good fit for you

Number of Scholarships Awarded: 2 students will each receive a $5,000 scholarship
Scholarship recipients will be selected based on thoughtfulness, authenticity, and alignment with the values of Montessori education. Selected students must complete the enrollment process following notification in order to receive the scholarship award. Final decisions will be made after reviewing enrollment application and related documents. If a selected recipient chooses not to enroll, the scholarship will be forfeited and may be awarded to an alternate candidate.
We can’t wait to hear from students who are curious, creative, and ready to thrive in a learning environment built around intentional academic guidance, purposeful learning environments, and peace-minded community support.
