Scholars of Promise

Hopa Mountain offers three scholars programs providing support services to students apply to and succeed at colleges/universities or vocational schools of their choice.

Upcoming Scholars Events:

Scholars of Promise combines our three scholars programs while maintaining our commitment to supporting the unique needs of students in each program. Hopa Mountain offers these three programs: Indigenous Scholars of Promise (ISP), Health Scholars of Promise (HSP), and a program dedicated to supporting Montana's foster care teens, houseless teens, and teens in kinship care.

Program benefits:

  • Training and coaching meetings to help prepare you to apply to a college or vocational program and succeed once you are there.

  • Assistance with application/testing fees, and scholarship applications.

  • Mentor and peer support throughout the college and vocational school preparation process.

  • Recognition through participation in the Scholars of Promise program.

Made possible with generous support from the O.P. and W.E. Edwards Foundation, The Salah Foundation, the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, the Cross Charitable Foundation, the Jose Garcia Foundation, and Hopa Mountain members.
