Staff Senate Scholarship

Each year, the Staff Senate awards multiple scholarships for selected children of staff at The University  Montana - Missoula.  Applicants must be enrolled at UM - either the Mountain Campus, the Bitterroot College, or the Missoula College - as a full-time student (at least 12 credits) in the upcoming academic school year.

These scholarships are open to incoming freshmen, continuing education students, graduate students, and transfer students.  Previous recipients are eligible to apply.  Awards are based on academic records, letters of recommendation, campus and community involvement, and financial need.

To be considered for a scholarship, the applicant must complete and submit the Staff Senate Scholarship Application along with a one-page biographical statement, two letters of recommendation, and official transcripts.  The Staff Senate Scholarship application process for the 2013-2014 school year is open.  For questions regarding the Scholarship program, please contact the Staff Senate office (406) 243-5422 or Sandi Nelson, Staff Senate Scholarship Committee Chair.

The Staff Senate conducts fundraisers to support the scholarships, but also relies on donations from the campus community. This is an opportunity for anyone to give in order to benefit fellow UM employees and their families. Your contribution - even $5.00 - would benefit a deserving student.

You can contribute in any of the following ways:

• Cash or check made out to Staff Senate
• Payroll deduction (File a Payroll Deduction Form.)
• Contributions can be given as a memorial for a loved one or friend
• Donations from departments; for instance, The Bookstore at The University of Montana, Office of Public Safety, and Griz Card Center.

Contributions may be sent to:  Staff Senate, Building 32, Room 135F, The University of Montana - Missoula, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula, MT  59812.

Thank you for your generosity!
