Montgomery College Dual Enrollment Programs Offer Students Smart Financial Start on National Financial Awareness Day

As part of National Financial Awareness Day tomorrow, August 14, Montgomery College is highlighting how its dual enrollment programs provide students with a financially sensible pathway to higher education, saving families thousands of dollars in college costs.

Through the College’s comprehensive dual enrollment offerings, qualified high school students can earn college credits or even complete full degrees while simultaneously fulfilling their high school diploma requirements, creating significant cost savings and academic acceleration opportunities.

Three Pathways to Financial Success

Montgomery College's dual enrollment program offers three distinct pathways designed to maximize both educational value and financial efficiency:

• Early College Programs: Students can earn a complete associate degree while finishing high school, potentially saving families up to $20,000 compared to traditional college costs after graduation.
• Middle College Programs: Combining high school completion with college coursework in an accelerated format that reduces overall time to degree completion.
• Jumpstart to College: Individual college credit opportunities that allow students to reduce their future college course load and associated costs.

All dual enrollment students are registered for standard college courses taught by Montgomery College's experienced professors. Classes are available on MC campuses, online, or at select high school sites, providing flexibility while maintaining academic rigor.
