Financial Aid

Montclair State University does not use or require the College Board CSS Profile.

Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, loans and work-study from federal, state and institutional sources. Applying for financial aid reduces the out-of-pocket cost of a college education to help make it an affordable reality.

Our aim is to provide clear options to assist you to stay enrolled and continue your college experience. The information below is meant to serve as a guide for you as you assess your personal financial situation now and in the future. All undergraduate and graduate students may explore the options described on the financial aid pages.

  • The 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available. Please file your FAFSA as soon as possible.
  • The 2025-26 FAFSA will be available in early December 2024.
  • If you received a NJ TAG Grant in the 2024-25 year, you must file your 2025-26 FAFSA before April 15, 2025.
  • New Jersey HESAA is offering FAFSA Completion webinars. Join a Webinar Today!
