THE GRIZZLY PROMISE
The Grizzly Promise initiative was launched in December 2022 as a tool to tear down financial barriers to our world-class education. The promise ensures that if you are an in-state student from a family with income less than $50,000 per year, we will cover your entire tuition and mandatory fees.
The Grizzly Promise is for first-year students taking classes on campus (not online) and funds up to four years or eight semesters of UM tuition and fees. This commitment exemplifies UM’s ethos of inclusive prosperity, where we don’t measure our prestige by who we don’t let in, but rather by how wide our doors can open.
How Do You Apply for the Grizzly Promise at UM
Applying for the Grizzly Promise is easy. The only two steps required are to be admitted to the University of Montana and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Read More: UM’s Top Five Tips for Filling Out the FAFSA.
When filling out the FAFSA, use University of Montana code 002536. The Grizzly Promise then will be applied to qualifying students through scholarships, grants, waivers and other institutional aid.
