Montana Presidential Leadership Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by University of Montana
The Davidson Honors College (DHC) offers academic scholarships to incoming students to recognize outstanding talent, academic performance, and leadership. These are the University of Montana's premier academic scholarships and include the Presidential Leadership Scholarship (PLS), Provost's Honors Scholarship (PHS), and the Dean's Leadership Scholarship (DLS).
These scholarships significantly reduce the cost of attendance at the University of Montana and students who meet progression standards may have their awards renewed for up to four years.
We are looking for well-rounded, ambitious, and curious learners. The average DHC scholar has a 3.9 GPA, 30 or higher on the ACT, and 1360 or higher on the SAT. While we look at academic performance and test scores, these criteria are not absolute and all highly motivated students are encouraged to apply. The average DHC student has a 3.7 GPA, 27 ACT, and 1270 SAT.
