The Value of a Montclair State Education

Ensuring students can afford a college education is a priority at Montclair State University, and for many students, including Melanie Lopez, a senior majoring in Journalism and Digital Media, the opportunity for scholarship support – awards made possible by alumni, friends, and corporate and foundation donors –  has made all the difference in their ability to stay in school.     

As New Jersey’s second-largest public university, Montclair is committed to affordability and boasts a graduation rate higher than the national average. More than 72% of Montclair’s students receive some form of financial aid, making it easier for families to make a smart and practical financial investment.
