"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

"We’re a vet-friendly state. We are proud to accept veterans from all states."

Congress used to offer states a financial incentive so that military veterans attending state universities could pay in-state tuition rates, instead of higher out-of-state tuition.

Now, instead of a carrot, Congress is using more of a stick.

Because of changes in federal law that take effect July 1, the Montana University System will no longer receive $2.5 million in Yellow Ribbon matching funds in exchange for charging veterans the lower in-state tuition. Out-of-state students pay tuition that’s three times higher than Montana students pay.
