Digger Athletic Fund Priorities
Digger Endowed Scholarship

An endowed student-athlete scholarship creates a legacy of support for Digger Athletics. Established through the Montana Tech Foundation, endowed funds are invested in perpetuity, with a portion of the annual return used each year to provide scholarship support for Montana Tech student-athletes. This enduring investment helps attract, retain, and empower student-athletes to succeed in competition, in the classroom, and beyond.

Digger Annual Fund

Digger Athletics with the resources to create immediate, transformative experiences for our student-athletes, fueling excellence across all programs while advancing the continued growth of Montana Tech Athletics and the University. Annual Fund contributions directly support student-athlete scholarships and help offset the full cost of the Montana Tech Athletics experience, ensuring our student-athletes have what they need to compete, learn, and succeed.

Athletic Facility Improvements

World-class facilities are essential to delivering on our commitment to student-athletes and providing a transformational experience that allows them to reach their full potential, both academically and athletically. Philanthropic investment in our facilities elevates the daily experience for current student-athletes while clearly signaling our commitment to excellence to future Diggs.
