Youth Serve Montana Scholarship closes January 31
The Youth Serve Montana Scholarship was created to promote volunteerism among high school students. Funds are available through support from Montana Campus Compact, a network of Montana campuses committed to community service; Reach Higher Montana, a nonprofit dedicated to helping students pursue and fund post-secondary education; and the Governor’s Office of Community Service, a state agency tasked with expanding and promoting community volunteerism in Montana. The Governor’s Office of Community Service administers the scholarship funds.
The $1,200 scholarships will be offered to 83 Montana seniors attending Montana Campus Compact member institutions next fall. Qualified applicants are graduating high school seniors who have completed at least 50 hours of volunteer service during the past year. (Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the service hour requirement has been reduced from 100 to 50.)
“Community service is a great learning opportunity for students, and we are delighted to continue our support for these scholarships in recognition of the valuable service students perform throughout Montana,” said Kelly Cresswell, Executive Director of Reach Higher Montana. “We hope their service learning continues beyond high school, into their college years.”
