It’s Always A Great Day to Be An Oredigger!


Some things are a part of you forever. When Orediggers embark on their educational journey at Montana Technological University, they find a family and a place they call their own – not just for four years but also for the rest of their lives.

Creating opportunities for everyone to stay engaged is at the core of Montana Tech. We are committed to engaging everyone who loves the university. As a determined nation of Orediggers, we are powerful and will make the university, our communities, and the world a great place.

We are proud of our many alumni chapters and through this project you can make a gift to the Billings Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship; Bakersfield Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship; Calgary Alumni Chapter Scholarship; Houston Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship' and the Southwest Montana Tech Alumni Chapter Scholarship.
