Montana Tech recently secured a $593,450 grant from the National Science Foundation.
The money will be used to fund 20 $6,500 annual scholarships for incoming freshmen, renewable for four years.
Doug Coe, the dean of the College of Math and Sciences, and Amy Verlanic and Annette Kankelborg of the Technical Outreach office, worked collaboratively on the Montana Minds Scholarship grant.
