  • About The Scholarships

     

    Goddard Great Start Scholarship

    We believe children deserve the greatest start so they can become the best versions of themselves. That belief is at the heart of the Goddard Great Start Scholarship, an opportunity for two families, one new and one existing, to receive a full year of tuition. This scholarship gives children access to a foundational year at Goddard where they’re immersed in inquiry-based learning that’s intentionally built to support who they are and who they’re becoming.

    Anthony A. Martino Scholarship

    Since 2008, Goddard Systems has awarded the $10,000 Anthony A. Martino Memorial Scholarship to a senior in high school who graduated from either a pre-kindergarten or kindergarten program at a Goddard School. The scholarship is named in memory of the founder of The Goddard School franchise system, Anthony A. Martino, an entrepreneur who started several other well-known franchise companies. Winners demonstrate the work ethic and perseverance that exemplifies Martino’s commitment to his career, family and community.

The Goddard Difference

We don’t just prepare children for the next step; we prepare them for a lifetime of possibilities, so every child has the freedom to explore, learn at their own pace and discover their unique potential.
