Montclair State Receives Largest Anonymous Gift in its History

"Throughout its hundred year history, Montclair State has been known as an opportunity institution. Talented and determined young people have come here, not with a sense of entitlement, but rather for the chance to prove themselves, to realize their potential, and to prepare themselves to make important contributions to society. Close to half of our students are the first in their families to attend college, about 35% are minority students, and about a third of our students come from families with incomes below $50,000. Many have had to overcome significant obstacles to succeed. But succeed they do, and throughout the past 100 years, Montclair State students have made their mark in science, education, government, business, and the arts.
