Digger Athletics
Investing in the Future of Montana Tech Athletics through Student Athlete Scholarships!


Orediggers show the world what grit looks like, on the field, in the gym, and in the classroom. Montana Tech Athletics is proud to carry forward that tradition, developing student-athletes who compete with heart, succeed academically, and represent our university with pride.

Our DayOne Goal

This DayOne, we are raising funds for the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship. Your gift fuels scholarships that:

  • Recruit and retain championship-caliber student-athletes
  • Provide the resources needed to excel in competition and in the classroom
  • Strengthen every one of our athletic programs


When you support the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship, you’re not just backing one sport—you’re backing every Oredigger team and every student-athlete who wears green and copper.


A Match That Doubles Your Impact

In honor of Montana Tech’s 125th anniversary, Jake and Jana Streitz are stepping up with a powerful challenge:

Every gift to the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship during DayOne (up to $750 per gift) will be matched dollar-for-dollar with a contribution to the Digger Green Athletic Endowment up to $100,000.

That means your gift has immediate impact for today’s student-athletes while also building lasting support for future generations of Orediggers.

Give once. Fuel champions now. Build a legacy forever.

Be Part of the Team, Oredigger Athletics is built on hard work, teamwork, and pride, and we can’t do it without you.


Make your DayOne gift to the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship. Share the challenge—your voice inspires more teammates to give.

Give today. Fuel tomorrow. Roll Diggs!
