How do I renew my Montessori Scholarships each term?

You can renew your Academic Scholarship for your Montessori program if you maintain an eligible employment status and good standing with your educational institution. 

No earlier than 60 days prior to the start of your next term, submit a renewal application. Please include the following documents (if there isn’t a designated upload category for any of these documents, you can upload them as “Additional Documents” under the “Documents” section of your application):

  • Copy of Proof of Enrollment and Good Standing Letter from your educational institution
  • Copies of two recent paystubs reflecting the name of your employer, your name, and gross and net year-to-date wages. If you are a Family Child Care Learning Home or a Director/Owner and do not pay yourself W-2 wages, you should submit a copy of last year’s Schedule C, Schedule K, or other federal tax form documenting net business income. If your paystubs do not meet these requirements, we may ask for additional information.

Montessori program terms are defined for the DECAL Scholarships program as follows: January-May, June-July, and August-December.
