Jabs Student Scholarships
Thanks to generous donors, our College offers over 250 scholarships for MSU business
students, totalling over $500,000. $100,000 will be given out to incoming students.
Our scholarships support students at different points in their academic careers or in different fields of study (e.g. incoming first-year student or a junior in a particular option). Because of this, we encourage all students to apply for scholarships each year.
Eligibility for need-based scholarships is determined by the MSU Office of Financial Aid. Students who wish to be considered for need-based scholarships must complete their FAFSA application. Need-based scholarships will not be awarded to students who have not completed the FAFSA application. FAFSA information can be found here: http://www.montana.edu/financialaid/priority.html. MSU's priority deadline to file a FAFSA is February 1.
All Jabs students must complete a General Application and Jabs Application through
Cat $cholarships. The Application Portal will open November 1, 2024!
For Current/Continuing Students:
You automatically have access to Jabs scholarships. Simply log into the portal below and fill out the two applications.
There are also scholarships available through the Bracken Center: International Fellowship Funding and the PRIDE/Professionalism Award.
The application is open Nov 1, 2024 - Feb 1, 2025. Decisions are made in February and students are notified in March 2025.
