We work hard to ensure that our tuition remains affordable, keeping education within the reach of all motivated students regardless of their financial situation. More than 72 percent of Montclair State University students received some form of grants, loans and/or scholarships.
Montclair offers merit-based Presidential Scholarships for high achieving incoming first-year students, and Phi Theta Kappa scholarships for eligible transfer students. Talent scholarships are awarded by faculty to students in select performing arts programs based on the strength of their audition.
Presidential Scholarships are highly competitive and awarded based on your academic achievement in high school. If you are awarded a Presidential or Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship, you will be notified upon acceptance to the University. No separate application is required.
Talent Scholarship notification is at the discretion of the faculty after auditions.
Students who file the FAFSA may also qualify for need-based grants, loans, and tuition-free programs.
