About MUS Honor Scholarship

MUS Honor Scholarship waives tuition at eligible Montana campuses and selects high-school students with rigorous academic preparation.

Applicants need Montana residency, graduation that year from an accredited state high school, and at least three full-time years there including senior year. They need a minimum 3.4 cumulative GPA at the end of the seventh semester, progress toward the Rigorous Core or an IB diploma, and an ACT/SAT by February 2027. They must also be accepted at an eligible campus.

Use Award Montana to submit the complete application, campus acceptance, seventh-semester transcript, and counselor-signed certification of coursework/IB and attendance. The window is not open yet as of October 12, 2026. Schedule the ACT/SAT before February and budget for fees the waiver does not cover; after selection, accept or decline within the portal deadline.
