Local students earn Montana University System Honor Scholarships

From Montana University System

The Montana University System has awarded the prestigious Montana University System Honor Scholarship to students in the local area.

The local students receiving the award are Dylan Good, Chester-Joplin-Inverness High School, and Kaitlin Morehouse and Grant Whitacre, both from Havre High School.

The MUS Honor Scholarship is a renewable scholarship offered by the Montana Board of Regents that waives undergraduate tuition for up to eight semesters at any campus of the Montana University System or Dawson, Flathead Valley or Miles community colleges. The scholarship’s average value is $20,000. It is the most prestigious scholarship offered centrally by the Montana University System. 

Students offered this scholarship must be graduates of an accredited Montana high school with a minimum grade point average of 3.4 at the end of their seventh semester in high school, take either the ACT or SAT standardized test, meet college core requirements, and attend an eligible Montana campus.

“These scholarships are for Montana’s best and brightest and we are honored to be able to provide them,” Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian said. “We look forward to these students choosing the Montana institution of their choice and getting a great education right here in the state.”

A total of 244 scholarships have been offered statewide. A full list is available at http://www.mus.edu/Prepare/Pay/Scholarships/MUS_Honor_Scholarship.asp .
