Applying for Tuition Assistance

Riverbend is deeply committed to making tuition affordable for families choosing our nurturing Montessori environment. We are currently providing over $700,000 of aid to over 30 families in our Kindergarten through 8th grade programs, and we invite you to explore how Riverbend can perhaps support you too. 

  1.  K- 8th-grade applicants, begin applying for financial assistance by going to https://online.factsmgt.com/aid after November 1. All applications must be submitted online.
  2. Click on the prompt to begin your application. You will need to search for Riverbend School by typing in the zip code 01760. Only one application is required per family even if you have more than one child applying to our school.
  3. You will be given a username and password allowing you to complete your application at a later date before submitting it. This is an encrypted site to ensure the security of the data you enter.
