We encourage students to pursue private scholarships whenever possible. Contact high school guidance counselors and/or our Career Services Office here at the University of Great Falls for information regarding local scholarship opportunities. Researching scholarship and grant directories at a library or on the internet may also prove worthwhile. In addition, various scholarships exist through service organizations such as Knights of Columbus, Rotary Club, Elks Club, Lions Club, and Kiwanis Club. Other possible sponsors include students’ or parents’ employers, trade associations, banks, corporations, schools, school districts, and churches.
A grant is money that does not have to be repaid. It is awarded as a means of partially meeting a student’s demonstrated need. If federal, state, and institutional guidelines permit, each eligible student will be awarded grant funds. All students meeting eligibility requirements are entitled to the Federal Pell Grant. All other grants are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students who are non-degree seeking or are seeking teacher certification after graduation are ineligible for grant funds.

A large group of veterans, and in some cases their dependents, are eligible to receive educational benefits. Generally, an application for benefits must be submitted and determination made by the Veterans Administration regarding benefits. Programs are available for which tuition and fees are paid, as well as a monthly stipend. If the veteran or dependent is having difficulty with a course, tutorial assistance may be provided.
Now our students have the option to make convenient monthly payments for their education. Click here for the UGF Monthly Payment Plan .
