2. Do you offer scholarships for freshmen or transfer students?

While the School of Journalism offers $80,000 a year in scholarships, nearly all go to students already enrolled in the school. Criteria for awarding scholarships are established by the donors, and most have restricted their donations to students who have demonstrated a commitment to journalism as a career and whose potential is evidenced by success in our rigorous professional program. However, one donor has established a significant scholarship for an incoming freshman from Anaconda, Mont.

The University of Montana has many scholarships for freshmen. These include general scholarships and Presidential Leadership Scholarships.
To inquire about those scholarships, contact: The Office of New Student Services
