Scholarships
GMS recognizes that families wishing to enroll their children will be coming from varying financial positions. The Mission of our school is to serve children from diverse backgrounds in reaching their highest potential, and so in addition to offering free NM PreK and accepting ECECD Childcare Assistance, we also offer individual scholarships for families in need as funding allows.
