STEM/Healthcare Scholarship Program

The STEM/Healthcare Scholarship Program, administered by the Montana University System, supports state residents who pursue high-demand technical and medical fields. To qualify, applicants must graduate from an accredited Montana high school, having completed four years of college-preparatory mathematics and three years of college-preparatory science. Recipients must enroll full-time in an eligible STEM or healthcare major at a participating Montana campus immediately after completing high school.

The program provides structured financial support over four years of undergraduate study. It offers $1,000 for the first year, $1,500 for the second and third years, and $2,000 for the fourth year. The award is renewable for students who maintain the required academic progress and credit load. Although applicants must submit their high school transcripts, counselor certifications, and college acceptance letters directly through the state’s online portal, they should also monitor how the award coordinates with federal and state financial aid. The application deadline for this scholarship is March 15, 2027.
