The primary focus of the MCB/CMB is to collect
and direct funds to be used for scholarship assistance
to accepted students.

Collectively, we recruit and support  students from all corners of the world
 for the educational training offered at The International Centre for Montessori
Studies Foundation (F 'C.I.S.M.') in Bergamo, Italy.

The funds are loaned to the students with a generous 0% interest to be paid
back within one year of completion of the course. These funds will act as payment for tuition. Recipients are chosen through careful consultation with the Centre and upon completion of the application and interview process.

Our financial arrangements are with individuals, not with F 'CISM' itself, and are repaid to The MCB/CMB by the individuals under the negotiated terms.

The MCB does not make a profit from the loaning of money to the individuals, but
merely acts as a conduit of resources from donors and granting foundations to the individuals who seek sponsorship.

There are no obligations undertaken between the individuals and the MCB except the repayment of the money loaned.

None of the directors or strategic officers work for, or are associated with, the International Centre for Montessori Studies Foundation in
Bergamo, Italy or are directly or indirectly  financially bound
 with F 'CISM'.
