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

Montana Tech Athletics has chosen DayOne to promote and raise funds for the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship. Montana Technological University is committed to recruiting and developing student-athletes who will perform successfully in the classroom and compete at a championship level. 

Montana Tech is place for opportunity and innovation, where determined doers thrive. Montana tech athletics is committed to providing transformative experiences for our students while striving for excellence across all programs. 


Our goal is to enrich and support our student-athletes while delivering the world-class education, one-on-one attention, and family environment that is a hallmark for Montana Tech.  


We invite you to help us with a gift to the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship, which will make sure we have immediately available dollars to provide scholarships for our current student-athletes and recruit the next class of Orediggers.  

During DayOne, we are incredibly grateful to Kim and Bryan '97 Larson who will match gifts to the Digger Athletics Annual Scholarship 1:1 up to $20,000.  

Also during DayOne, we are offering the opportunity to invest in the future of Oredigger Athletics with a gift to the Digger Athletics Endowed Scholarship. 

All gifts made to the Digger Endowed Scholarship during DayOne will be matched 1:1 up to $100,000 thanks to a leadership investment from Ryan '84 and Lisa Lance.

You can also support our individual Oredigger Athletic Programs:
