NMR Tuition Award

Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch Award

Academic and Social Tuition Award for NEW students entering grades two – six.

Up to  50% discount of the program fee will be awarded to two new students entering second through sixth grade. These awards are in honor of the late Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch (NMR), founder of the American Montessori Society and a colleague of Princeton Montessori School. She was a visionary scholar whose wisdom was so monumental in the training of teachers. Scholarship recipients must demonstrate high achievement in their academic and social development. The NMR Award will be granted annually through eighth grade provided the student continues to demonstrate significant academic and social progress.
