Financial Assistance
Montrose makes a strong commitment to ensuring that no student is denied a place simply due to her family's financial means. Students and their families are encouraged to apply for admission regardless of their family's ability to meet the full cost of attendance. Last year, about 30% of students received financial assistance. Montrose awards financial aid only to those qualified applicants who exhibit demonstrated financial need.
Determination of financial need occurs after admissions decisions have been made. Due to the constraints of the financial aid budget, some admitted students may be denied financial assistance or placed on a financial aid waiting list.
