New initiative grants full scholarships to Montana Tech to local, first-generation college students

Heather Martin cried when she found out. Josh Hedrick skipped. Sadie Starcevich was so shocked she was speechless.

Their reactions were different, but the extremity of their responses was similar and the cause was the same: last month, Martin, Hedrick and Starcevich were the first three students to be awarded scholarships to attend Montana Tech at no cost, as part of the university’s new Butte Initiative program.

The program gives full, four-year rides, plus room and board and money for books, to three students who are from Butte, who would be the first in their family to graduate from college and who have "a real financial need," according to Montana Tech Foundation Executive Director Michael Barth.
