Apogee Scholarship
A Georgia tax-credit programme that turns part of what you already owe the state into financial aid for Village Montessori families.
The Programme
Apogee Scholarship Program
If a family is concerned about tuition or in a financial bind, contributions to Apogee provide financial aid to our families. Over $100,000 has been contributed to VMS through this exciting program.
