HELENA, MONT. — The Governor’s Office of Community Service, Reach Higher Montana and Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement announced that 84 Montana high school seniors have been awarded the Youth Serve Montana Scholarship.
Seniors considered for this scholarship completed at least 100 hours of volunteer service over the past year and plan to attend a Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement institution in the fall.
Each scholarship gives the student $1,250 and celebrates the volunteer efforts, empathy and leadership.
“Every year, we honor high school seniors who significantly contribute to their communities, providing a great opportunity to acknowledge their hard work. “ said Kelly Cresswell, executive director of Reach Higher Montana. “The Youth Serve Montana Scholarships offer more than just financial assistance; they aim to inspire service and recognize those students who will continue to positively impact their communities.”
The goal is to inspire even more high school students to volunteer in their communities.
"These scholarships go beyond simply recognizing students,” explained Josh Vanek, director of Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement. “Through their volunteer efforts, students cultivate a culture of empathy and leadership, with each act of service contributing to a brighter shared future."
The scholarship is available annually, and eligible students are encouraged to apply when applications open in the fall.
