Early College Scholars Program

There is no fee at the time of application for Early College Scholars applicants.

No, you do not have to reside in New Jersey to apply to the Early College Scholars Program.

Yes, but since you will not have an academic transcript, the Essay/Personal Statement is required.

All credits taken with the Early College Scholars Program at Montclair State University will transfer to a Montclair State University degree.  For other institutions, we recommend you contact that college/university directly and that you review their transfer policy when choosing which Early College course(s) to take.

View the Academic Calendar.

High school students are not eligible for financial aid and we do not offer scholarships at this time for Early College Scholars participants, but we do offer discounted tuition for Early College Program students!

You can, but please note that you are still required to register and pay for the class.  You would need to fill out an audit application, the department chair needs to sign it, and then it goes to the Registrar’s Office for processing.  Please review the Audit Policy and note that audited courses do not carry academic credit so we advise against this option for Early College Program participants.

Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but please keep in mind the application deadlines.
