Reach Higher Montana Scholarship Opportunities
Scholarship Sponsored by Reach Higher Montana
You have a story — about persistence, service, growth, or learning — and that story can help you earn scholarship money. Scholarships are funds for college that do not need to be repaid. Use your experiences to apply; local and regional awards often offer the best odds because fewer students compete for them than for national scholarships.
Montana Scholarships — Overview
- We’ve assembled a collection of state, local, and selected national scholarships for Montana students. Based on years of experience helping students apply, local awards tend to be easier to win than large national scholarships due to smaller applicant pools.
