Student financial assistance is available through scholarship, grant, loan and/or employment programs.
The federal government, the State of New Jersey, and Montclair State make funds available through a variety of programs to students to help meet educational expenses.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be filed in order to be considered for federal or state financial aid. This form may be accessed at www.FAFSA.ed.gov or for further information including application procedures and filing deadlines, please visit our web site www.montclair.edu/FinancialAid or contact the Office of Student Financial Aid in College Hall, Room 208
Federal and State regulations mandate that recipients of financial aid be in good academic standing and be making "Satisfactory Academic Progress" towards a degree. Montclair State University has established minimum standards for "Measurable Satisfactory Academic Progress". Students must meet the University's "Retention Standards" and earn 67% of their attempted credit hours in order to be eligible for and continue to receive federal and/or state aid. Audited (non-credit) courses are not covered by federal or state aid. Students are solely responsible for the full cost of any audited course(s).
Withdrawals (WD's), failures (F's), audited courses and repeated courses are factors that may contribute to a student's ineligibility.

The Center for Academic Advising & Adult Learning oversees the Older Adult Tuition Waiver (OLA) Program, which is for New Jersey residents, age 65 or over. The OLA program allows students to take courses on a space-available, tuition-waived basis. Students are only responsible for the student fees plus an administrative fee each semester enrolled. Students with a high school diploma or its equivalent may take undergraduate courses. Students with an undergraduate degree may take undergraduate or graduate courses, but must pay graduate fees regardless of the course level. OLA students are also eligible to apply for a degree program by meeting all of the University admission requirements.
