Lee’s Fund
At Liberated, we intentionally cultivate a diverse and inclusive community by creating meaningful pathways that make Montessori education accessible to all children.
Lee’s Fund provides tuition assistance to families who are underrepresented, marginalized, or facing financial barriers to accessing Montessori education. Our goal is to help close opportunity gaps by making an authentic Montessori experience more accessible during a critical stage of child development.
This scholarship is designed for families who align with Liberated’s philosophy but may find full tuition challenging. Awards are offered as tuition discounts ranging from 25–75% and are determined based on each family’s unique circumstances, not income alone.
We welcome applications from families of all backgrounds, including:
LGBTQIA+ families
Transgender and gender-expansive parents and children
Kinship caregivers, foster, and adoptive families
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
Single-parent households
Families experiencing financial hardship
Parents and/or children with disabilities
Others whose experiences are underrepresented
Applicants should have a genuine interest in Montessori education and be able to explain how they believe their child will benefit from the program.
