“Beyond Graduation” Scholarships
Scholarship Award Amount: $1,000
Awards Available: 2
In 2011, the Missoula Education Foundation established an endowment to fund the Beyond Graduation Scholarship Program. Through the Beyond Graduation Endowed Fund and MEF annual fundraising efforts, MEF will award scholarships to students who were at one time identified as at risk for graduation but who persevered and now seek post-secondary education in Montana. We accept scholarship applications for all eligible applicants: any graduating MCPS high school senior who will be attending an in-state college or university beginning in Fall, 2026.
