Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

This is the final part of a four-part series exploring the possible effects of more than $32 million in budget cuts to higher education in the next two years. The Montana Senate is expected to vote on the state’s budget this week. This segment explores issues at Missoula’s College of Technology. Friday’s segment will examine the impact of potential cuts on The University of Montana’s satelite campuses.
