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.

There has been a long standing stigma attached to student athletes considering them more "athlete" than "student." Former Tennessee Titan, Myran Rolle, broke that mold when he postponed his dreams of playing in the NFL by accepting a Rhode scholarship and attending Oxford university.

"I love the design of student athletes because they’re natural born leaders," said Rolle. "They’re exceptional people. There are a lot of bright student athletes that do well in the classroom and on the field who we need to exalt, rather than some of the negative stories that we hear in sports."
