Mission Statement

Montessori Scholarship Organization (MSO) promotes Montessori education by providing tuition assistance to students age five and older in private schools in Arizona through individual tax credit contributions.


A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation.

A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent.

Montessori Scholarship Organization was established in 2000, thanks to the Arizona Individual Tax Credit Program. Montessori Scholarship Organization is a non-profit organization under the 501(c)(3) IRS tax code.

We are committed to allocating at least 92% of the annual revenues for scholarships and grants to children attending private schools owned and operated in the State of Arizona, even though the law only requires 90% be allocated.

From our first year of operations, the generosity of local contributors have allowed us to continually increase funding to local schools, offering parents a choice to obtain the best type of education for their child.

Parent’s choice is available because of the Arizona Tax Credit program that allows you to specifically direct your Arizona Tax dollars to a school tuition organization and support education in Arizona.  Unlike a tax deduction, this is a dollar for dollar reduction off your state income tax liability.

Notice: A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation.  A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent.  For more details see "Scholarship Committment".
