Montclair State alumni and friends – come together to make an impact for our students. Now, more than ever, many of our students are relying on our support through the Montclair State Student Emergency Fund to continue their education as we weather this crisis together.
Your support shows our students that we are a community that will rise to the occasion to support their success. Together we can make a difference!
All donations to the Montclair State Student Emergency Fund will directly support our students as they adapt to changing circumstances through emergency scholarships.
Come together during this time to share a message of encouragement for our students. Post a short video, photo or written message on social media using the hashtag #MontclairStateCares to offer your words of encouragement as we unite to show our students that they are surrounded by a strong, supportive community committed to their success. If you don’t have social media, you can email your message of support to alumni@montclair.edu.
“These are unprecedented times. We are working tirelessly to support our students, but this is a hard time for all. Students have reported losing loved ones to COVID-19. Many are struggling financially and those students who were already vulnerable are even more vulnerable by this pandemic. Our goal is to help students find a small sense of normalcy in a very abnormal time.”
-Fatima deCarvalho, Associate Dean of Students
