For 125 years, Montana Technological University has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Butte community. Our history and our future are deeply intertwined with this remarkable city and its people. As we celebrate Montana Tech’s 125th anniversary, we recognize a special obligation to the youth of Butte—to open doors, create opportunities, and empower the next generation of leaders.
Many of these young men and women will be the first in their families to attend college. We want to give them the chance to BE THE FIRST. They reflect the same qualities that make Butte unique: strong family values, a tireless work ethic, and a goal-oriented outlook grounded in resilience and determination.
The Butte Endowed Scholarship Fund was created to ensure that more Butte students can attend Montana Tech, regardless of financial barriers. Students selected for this prestigious award will receive a full scholarship, giving them the freedom to focus on their education and future.
Our goal is bold: to establish a $2.5 million endowment that will provide scholarships for Butte students for generations to come. Thanks to several leadership gifts, we are well on our way, and now we invite you to be part of this transformative effort.
During DayOne thanks to Jack '73 and Leah McCarthy each gift to the Butte Endowed Scholarship will be matched 1:1 up to $2,000.
An investment in this fund is more than a scholarship—it is an investment in Butte, in Montana Tech, and in our shared future.
Please consider making your gift today and helping us continue a proud legacy of opportunity. And don’t forget to share this project with your friends, family, and networks to spread the word.
Together, we honor the partnership between Montana Tech and Butte by ensuring that Butte’s youth have the chance to learn, lead, and thrive.
