Montana Silversmiths Pursuit of Excellence Scholarship

Montana Silversmiths "Pursuit of Excellence" teams up with Montana Silversmiths Preferred Trophy Dealers to award scholarships to college students as a direct result of the Everybody Wins Trophy Program. The "Pursuit of Excellence Scholarship" is an investment in candidates who have a history of self-improvement and a desire to better themselves and their communities in which they live.

This scholarship is unique, in the fact that the recipients are not being rewarded for having the best grades or possessing the most athletic ability, but celebrates the student with a desire to become the best that they can be; individuals that are in the "Pursuit of Excellence."

Annual Amount

Quantity and amount of scholarship will vary by funds received annually.

Additional Selection Criteria

The Pursuit of Excellence Scholarship will be available for high school seniors or current college students who are enrolled in an accredited 2 or 4-year college.
