You don’t need another university telling you why they’re great. So, we flipped the
script. We made a website that’s adapted to what you want. Think of it like a compass
for your individual UM journey. Let’s see where we can go together.
The good news about being a Grizzly is that Grizzlies help each other. And we’re humbled
by the amount of support from alumni, donors and partners who are committed to helping
Grizzlies make their way through college. If you don’t think there is a scholarship
for you, think again.
Scholarships for first-year students and transfers
New to college? You’re in luck. Undergrads are automatically considered for either the Western Undergraduate Exchange Program or the University of Montana Academic Achievement Scholarship.
Our premier academic scholarships are offered through the Davidson Honors College, and include the Presidential Leadership Scholarship, Provost’s Honors Scholarship, and the Dean’s
Leadership Scholarship.
If you’re an in-state resident from a family with an income of $50,000 or less, UM
is dedicated to making sure your tuition is covered so you can attend tuition-free.
Thousands of students receive significant scholarship awards directly from their academic
departments. The best part? One application gets you in the running.
For Grizzlies with an athletic side, UM offers athletic scholarships and degree-completion scholarships — totaling more than $4.2 million for over 300 student-athletes.
National Merit Scholarship
UM participates in the National Merit Scholarship Program and offers awards of $2,000
a year to finalists who have indicated UM as their first choice for attending college.
Semi-finalists who enroll at UM receive an award of $1,000 a year.
Grizzly Battalion ROTC
The University of Montana participates in the Army ROTC Scholarship program. To receive
an application for a four-year scholarship, contact your high school guidance office.
Applications for two and three-year scholarship are available directly from the UM
ROTC department.
