About the Ellie Kempley Scholarship
Ellie Kempley was a student on the AMI 3-6 Diploma course at the Maria Montessori Institute when she very sadly and tragically died due to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.
Ellie was dedicated to changing children’s lives through
education and was deeply passionate about the Montessori
method. She always dreamed of opening her own nursery.
Though Ellie never got to finish her course at the Maria Montessori Institute, her family knew her passion had to live on.
That’s why they set up the Ellie Kempley Foundation and Ellie Kempley Scholarship to commemorate Ellie, and have generously funded a place on the AMI 3-6 Diploma course each year since 2024.
What does the Ellie Kempley Scholarship Cover?
Full course fees for one place per year on the AMI 3-6 Diploma or AMI 0-3 Diploma courses.
Criteria For Applying
As per the Kempley family’s wishes, applicants for the Ellie Kempley Scholarship must:
- Be UK residents.
- Be aged 30 years or under (as Ellie sadly died at the age of 23).
- Demonstrate a passion for Montessori education.
How to apply?
Applications for the Ellie Kempley Scholarship are done directly on the AMI 0-3 Diploma and AMI 3-6 Diploma application forms.
The AMI 0-3 Diploma isn’t currently open for applications but the AMI 3-6 Diploma is and so is the Ellie Kempley Scholarship for this Diploma.
