Blackfoot Scholarship Program Information

Blackfoot Communications looks for ways to invest in the long-term success of our communities and are dedicated to supporting and providing educational opportunities for all ages. That’s why each year, Blackfoot contributes over $75,000 to educational endeavors. We have awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to students who have pursued their passions and made positive impacts in our local service areas and beyond, and are excited to see the possibilities the future holds for today’s students. 

As part of our commitment to education, the Blackfoot Scholarship Fund provides academic scholarships for students from within our residential Montana and Idaho service areas. The scholarship program is designed for graduating high school students and/or post-secondary students currently served by Blackfoot at either their parents’ residence or their own principal residence, and/or attending college/university/trade school. Scholarships may be awarded from $1,000, up to $2,500. 

DEADLINE:  Thursday, March 25, 2024. Late entries will not be accepted
