Early Action Application Process

The Early Action application process is for well-qualified students who want to attend Five Towns College but do not want a binding agreement. This is different from what other colleges may call Early Decision which is binding. Instead, when you apply to Five Towns College, the Early Action process is a way to minimize the stress some have while waiting for the College’s decision about your acceptance plus you receive a financial incentive.

  • The Early Action application process is a way to receive an admissions decision early after you submit your application and required materials. If accepted, you will be given a one-time incentive grant as well as long as you meet the deadline.

NOTE: The Early Action Incentive Grant (EAIG) is no longer available to those who have not yet applied for the Fall 2023. It will become available again for those applying for the Fall 2024. Please check back here for more information soon.

EARLY ACTION INCENTIVE GRANT (EAIG):

  • By applying for Fall 2023 and submitting all of the required documents by December 1, 2022, an admissions decision will be determined within 30 days.
  • Then, if accepted, you will be entitled to a one-time, Early Action Incentive Grant (EAIG) of $1,500.  
  • To receive this EAIG, students must indicate that they are committed to the College by submitting an enrollment deposit of $200 in the following 30-day period.
  • Please note that for Summer High School Scholars who were seniors during the summer of 2022, a special incentive related to on-campus housing is available if you apply by November 1, 2022 for the Fall of 2023. Please ask Admissions staff about this.
