Due to unprecedented demand for these scholarships, we have had to suspend this program for fall 2009 new students until further notice. If additional funds become available, we will post a message on this site. If you were awarded a Montana new student University Scholarship, it will be honored.
We are still offering Distinction Scholarships to new students from Montana who will enter in the fall of 2009. We encourage those who have not already received a University Scholarship to apply.
 Montana State University will offer millions of dollars in scholarships to talented resident freshmen who apply for
admission for the fall of 2009. To be eligible, you must complete the following as soon as possible:
- Apply for admission to Montana State University.
You'll find an application in the MSU Viewbook or you can apply online at https://apply.embark.com/ugrad/montanastate/. Be sure to include your self reported GPA on the Self Report Form.
- Have your official ACT and/or SAT test scores sent to Montana State University directly from the testing company.
It is essential to apply for admission and have your ACT and/or SAT test scores sent to Montana State University as soon as possible. These scholarships will only be available for a limited time.

For more information on MSU’s Presidential Scholarship which provides annual tuition waivers and generous stipends for four years go to http://www.montana.edu/honors/. The application deadline is January 9th, 2009.
For Fall 2009, MSU University Scholarships will be based upon ACT composite scores and/or total SAT
scores (Math, Critical Reading and Writing).
MSU strives to make our university affordable for all Montana residents. Be sure to
file your FAFSA by March 1, 2009 so that we can best meet your financial needs.
Filing the FAFSA by this date will give you priority consideration for all available
financial assistance programs at Montana State University.
All University Scholarships are designated for ‘tuition’ only. If you are awarded a renewable University Scholarship, you must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater and maintain full time, resident status and continuous enrollment to retain the award throughout your four years at MSU.
As a condition of acceptance for any freshmen award, students must submit a Residence Hall Application as soon as possible. Students who have not already applied for housing, may download a housing application from the Residence Hall website at: http://www.montana.edu/reslife/. Exceptions to this rule may be made by contacting the Office of Residence Life.
