The MUS Honor Scholarship is a 4-year renewable scholarship, which waives the recipient’s tuition when used at an eligible campus. Its average value at a 4-year Montana campus is $5,000 a year or $20,000 for four years. This scholarship may be retained for a maximum of 8 semesters and with proper notification is transferable to other eligible campuses.The Board of Regents intends to offer up to 200 scholarships (contingent upon continued funding of the program) annually. Recipients will be selected based upon class ranking as determined by the student’s grade point average (GPA) at the student’s respective high school and their ACT or SAT test score (the higher of the two if both tests are taken).

Montana’s STEM/Healthcare Scholarship Program is designed to provide an incentive for Montana high school students to prepare for, enter into, and complete degrees in postsecondary fields related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics and healthcare. The goal of this program is to increase the number of STEM/Healthcare degree recipients participating in Montana’s workforce.
