Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Montserrat is one of the least expensive schools that I had looked at, and had the best programs, atmosphere, and housing of the many colleges I visited.
Sara from, VT
A bit overpriced at first glance, but between all the scholarships they provide and financial aid they assist you with, a rather reasonable school for the prices.
Akvile from Rivervale, NJ
It is a small college with a big heart. Just because it is small doesn't mean you don't get a great education. The classes will challenge you and make you be the best you can be. The dorms feel like home not sterile environment like other college dorms.
Daniel from Westfield, MA
Although Montserrat is tough on the wallet, I must say that it is worth every penny. The Writing Center has wonderful Tutors that are available to all students on any and every topic. Tutors alone can be a hefty price if paid elsewhere. It was wonderful to see that the staff and faculty take the time to not only get to know you but remember you as well. I could not ask for a better educational institution for me.
