Ryan McCarthy

"Montana Tech was the best investment I could have made for myself. Scholarships meant more than I can explain. When I graduated in May of 2023, I was debt-free. Since grade school, my career goal is to become an attorney. Thanks to donors like you, that dream will be a reality."

Skylar Elenbass

"Scholarships meant everything to me. I only had to take out student loans my freshman year because of the amazing opportunities I have had in receiving scholarships. Due to the generosity of donors, I don’t have to worry about crippling student loans after college."

Baylie Phillips

"Scholarships allowed me to focus on my academics and validated my commitment to school. I would like to thank the scholarship donors for making my scholarships possible."

Jaden Cleveland

"I always wanted to further my education but being the oldest of three sisters, that was going to be nearly impossible without help. The Tech Vision Scholarship was a phenomenal help towards getting the education I wanted and I am so grateful that Montana Tech provides such great opportunities to its students."
