At Three Tree Montessori, we value the economic diversity of our community. Because of this, it is the policy of TTMS to provide tuition assistance within our financial capability. Awards are based on the relative need of families that have applied, and on the funds available. Tuition assistance is available for Tuition, Before and After School Care and Summer Program fees.

How to Apply Three Tree utilizes an independent company, FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) by Independent School Management (ISM), to evaluate tuition assistance applications. The Finance Committee uses information from FAST to make award decisions. All financial information is kept confidential. Tuition assistance must be applied for annually. Contact Mark Bremen, Business Manager (mark.bremen@threetree.org) for the application link. You must have a voucher code to apply for tuition assistance. While the school will make every effort to maintain tuition assistance levels from year to year, conditions may change, so one year’s award is not a guarantee of awards in subsequent years.

The ISM FAST system has been upgraded and we are in the process of resetting the evaluation criteria as of 1/6/2025. Contact Mark Bremen and he will send a voucher code as soon as the system is ready.

Returning Families The deadline for applying for Tuition Assistance for the 2025/26 school year is March 1, 2025. The Finance Committee will decide on all applications by 4/15/2025.

Future TTMS Families We ask that you wait until your child has been offered a space before applying for tuition assistance. Decisions regarding admission and tuition assistance eligibility are made independently. The tuition assistance application deadline for new families is 5/1/2025 and decisions will be returned by 5/31/2025.

If you miss the deadline, are enrolling mid-year, or your circumstances change during the year, there is a possibility that funds are available. Contact Nicole Cook at nicole.cook@threetree.org to inquire or if you have any questions.
