Dear Carroll Community,
As we move through the heart of college application season, we’re asking our Carroll community – alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends – to help future Saints find their place here.
Share your Carroll story with the high school seniors in your life. Tell them about the professors who knew your name, the friendships that shaped you, and the classes that challenged and inspired you. Personal stories and word-of-mouth are the most powerful influences in a student’s college decision, and your voice can open doors for someone who belongs at Carroll but doesn’t yet know it.
At Carroll, we’re removing barriers and expanding access while upholding the academic excellence and personal connection that define us.
We’ve made it easier than ever to apply:*
- 48-hour admission response once applications are complete (excluding weekends and holidays)
- Earlier financial aid offers for families
- Free to apply on the Common App or Carroll App
- ACT/SAT scores not required for admission
- No essays or teacher recommendations required
- Transcripts not required prior to acceptance
- Continuing the Pell Promise for Montana students
- Expanded scholarships and aid opportunities for all students
- Transparent admission criteria – we look at the whole person, not just a gpa
- Housing and meal plan support to make living on campus more affordable
*Certain qualifications, exceptions, or additional requirements may apply.
This approach reflects our commitment to opening doors and ensuring every student who is ready to grow, explore, and lead can see themselves thriving here.
We invite you to help us spread the word and inspire others to take that first step. Encourage the students in your life to apply today and see how Carroll is making the path clearer, simpler, and more welcoming than ever.
With gratitude for all you do to share the Carroll story and help future Saints discover their place here,
Jennifer Glowienka, Ph.D.
Bishop Austin A. Vetter, D.D.
Interim Co-Presidents, Carroll College
