Getting There
The generosity of our donors has allowed scholarships to be offered each year. and Funds over and above the cost of the scholarships were retained to begin the creation of an endowed scholarship fund. The endowment presently funds a single scholarship annually; additional gifts are needed to reach our goal of providing two scholarships annually. The Montana Endowment Tax Credit may allow a person making a qualifying gift to receive a state tax credit; it also qualifies for a federal income tax deduction.
