MAKING A Difference Scholarship

Passionate About Inspiring Others

The Warrior Movement is excited to announce our 2023 Annual Making a Difference Scholarship. To be eligible, you must be a Montana Junior or Senior High School student and either enrolled or first descendant in a Federally recognized tribe. See the Information and Instruction Section for further eligibility details.

 

Each recipient selected will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship.

 

The Making a Difference Scholarship aims to identify and recognize high school-age students who significantly engage and challenge their schools and/or communities to advance positive change in their community and promote respect and understanding among all people. This application asks you to describe how you have brought a positive activity or change to your school or community. 

 

Your application will be assessed on your role and level of effort in the activity(ies) you describe and the scope and impact of the activity(ies). The past couple of years has presented tremendous challenges on multiple levels, preventing your ability to realize your projects fully. We understand and encourage you to still apply! You will have an opportunity to let us know in the application how the circumstances of the past couple of years have impacted your efforts.
