Summer Boot Camp
It's no secret that choosing and applying for college is a big deal! MAAC's Summer College Readiness Boot Camp at Montclair State University takes the guesswork out of applying and sets scholars up with the information, tools, and guidance to navigate the college process with confidence.
Rising high school seniors work with MAAC's dedicated staff to pursue study interests, meet with college representatives and inspirational leaders, hone their ELA and writing skills, learn the ins and outs of required FAFSA documentation, and prepare their applications, essays, and interview material.
Through bonding experiences and a mindfulness component that is unique to MAAC, these scholars build a community of support and keep in touch throughout high school so they can cheer each other on and celebrate their college acceptances.

How we can help?
We also offer tailored programs! Whether you need a virtual FAFSA workshop, resources for undocumented students, a one-day college readiness workshop, or something else, MAAC can help. We work with your budget to create a program that fits the specific needs of your school or organization.
Before coming to MAAC, I felt quite anxious about the college application process and all the factors involved in gaining admission and preparing for college. However, once I arrived, I quickly gained valuable knowledge and built connections with many wonderful staff members and fellow MAAC scholars, many of whom I still keep in touch with today.
MAAC is a truly special program because you can feel the love and care that each staff member invests in ensuring your success. You are not only seen in terms of the colleges you plan to attend; you are recognized for much more.
