Montana Conservation Corps - Tools for Living. Experience for life.

The Youth Serve Montana Scholarship rewards up to 70 high school seniors, who have volunteered 100 hours in the last year, with a $1,000 scholarship to attend one of 20 Montana colleges and universities that are part of the Montana Campus Compact (http://www.mtcompact.org). If you successfully completed our Expedition program then you have completed the required 100 hours! The most competitive applications will show additional service above and beyond the MCC program, but fear not if all of your volunteer hours come from MCC-there’s always a chance-so get your application in, too!

Nearly 10,000 National Service members mobilize Montana’s human capital to meet local needs.

• 2,000 organizations - nonprofits, schools, faith-based, tribal, government - host national service members to tutor and mentor children, support veterans and military families, provide health services, restore the environment, respond to disasters, increase employment opportunities, and help seniors maintain independent living.

• This year, over $12 million in national service efforts is being leveraged into community solutions by local programs – instead of bureaucracies – to solve critical problems.

• Since 2005, $9.5 million in Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards has gone to Montana colleges and universities to advance higher education for Montana students.
