The Ellie Kempley Bursary

In memory of Ellie Kempley, an AMI Diploma 3-6 student who sadly passed away suddenly in 2022 while studying with us, we are offering an annual bursary for a fully-paid place on our AMI Orientation 3-6 course for another bright young student.

Ellie was full of life and potential so we want to remember her by supporting other young people who are also full of potential. Every year The Ellie Kempley Bursary will be awarded to a student aged under 30 years who has a passion and commitment to learning about Montessori.

2024 applications are now closed.
