“I am currently a petroleum engineering student at Montana Technological University, and an all-source intelligence analyst for the Montana Army National Guard. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors on a river or lake, riding my mountain bike, or hiking in the mountains.
Receiving the Resenergy Scholarship means that I will have to work less to pay my bills, leaving more time to focus on my studies. I want to thank Resenergy for the opportunity they provided to me, and hope that I will experience their kindness firsthand in the future.”

"In high school I had the drive and G.P.A. for admission, but not the finances. Take it from a student who knows. Your contribution will help solve the obstacles standing in the way of their future. Montana Technological University is the solution for students like me. And I couldn’t have afforded any of it without scholarships, supported by generous people like you.

“I am an aspiring engineer receiving a highly valued education from a critically acclaimed engineering university in the heart of my hometown, and I’m doing it for free. I say free because I personally have paid $0 out of pocket, but other generous families, alumni, and companies covered my education.
I do not take scholarships for granted because I know that not many people are fortunate enough to be able to say, 'I graduated college debt free.' Rather, I view scholarships as an investment. I like to believe those donors see opportunity in me, and I am doing my best to give back. I am able to do this because I don’t have to worry about dividing my attention between full-time jobs and school. I can focus on my academic studies, and remain sane. Many college students’ quality of health degrades in some way — physically, mentally, or socially — in order to make it through their classes, jobs, and extracurricular activities. I think the people of the Montana Technological University Foundation understand the difficulties of college and try to make the student experience as enjoyable as possible with the aid of funding. I have had a healthy, successful college career, and I really owe it to the Montana Technological University Foundation."
