Emergency Scholarship Fund

The Emergency Scholarship Fund at Montclair State was established in 2015 by the Senior Class Gift Committee and the Office of Annual Giving and Alumni Engagement.

The fund was created as a way for graduating seniors to pay it forward and leave a legacy at Montclair State. The Emergency Scholarship Fund supports students who are facing financial hardship and would be unable to continue or complete their studies at Montclair State University.
