Indigenous Student Rapid Assistance Fund

About this program

The Montana Community Foundation offers the Indigenous Student Rapid Assistance Fund to provide one-time, emergency financial support to Indigenous students facing hardships while attending postsecondary institutions in Montana. Funds can cover essential expenses such as food, travel, housing, healthcare, childcare, and educational technology.
