Are Montessori Scholarships recipients eligible for Incentives?

DECAL Scholars Montessori Program Scholarships recipients are not eligible to receive Incentives until they complete their educational program and have received their credential. You can apply for our Incentives program once you have received your MACTE-accredited Montessori credential (for Infant/toddler and Early Childhood Programs only).

More information can be found here.
