Tech Vision Scholarship
Celebrating 125 Years of Opportunity with the Tech Vision Endowed

Montana Technological University has connected focused students with people, opportunities, and experiences that empower them to change the world. 

The Tech Vision Scholarship is a powerful tool to recruit and retain exceptional students. Because it can be awarded to any student, from anywhere, in any course of study, Tech Vision gives Montana Tech the flexibility to meet students where they are—lowering financial barriers, helping them persist to graduation, and fueling enrollment growth across campus.

  • Recruit the best: Competitive scholarships help Montana Tech win top students in a crowded marketplace.
  • Retain and graduate: Targeted support keeps students on track, reduces the need to work excessive hours, and lowers debt at graduation.


Thanks to a dedicated group of donors all gifts to the Tech Vision Scholarship will be matched 1:1 up to $30,000.  

Montana Tech was founded on grit, ingenuity, and community support. Your DayOne gift to the Tech Vision Scholarship keeps that legacy alive—growing enrollment, reducing student debt, and making the Oredigger dream a reality for future generations.

Thank you for your support and please help us spread the word! Share this project on social media, by email, and tell your friends!
