Montana 10’s benefits can be summarized into three principal supports: Financial Support, Academic Momentum and Purpose and Belonging. Below, learn more about Montana 10's Financial Support as determined by FAFSA.

How We Help With Tuition

All Montana 10 students receive a scholarship that is applicable towards tuition and mandatory fees for Fall and Spring semesters. Scholarship amounts are based on financial need as determined by the FAFSA. 

Students who are eligible for Pell will receive a scholarship to support tuition and mandatory fees after Pell and other aid/scholarships is applied. 
*Scholarship funds apply only to tuition and mandatory fees. Funds do not cover the costs of residence halls, meal plans, parking permits, and other "non-mandatory" fees. This is a tuition scholarship that is applied after Pell, awards, scholarships and other funding sources.
