Indigenous Student Rapid Assistance Fund

Support Indigenous Students in Crisis

Help Provide Emergency Financial Relief

Every day, Indigenous college students in Montana face unexpected financial hardships that can disrupt their education. The Indigenous Student Rapid Assistance Fund provides emergency financial relief, ensuring that a temporary crisis does not derail a student’s future.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

With your support, students can receive immediate assistance for urgent expenses, including:

  • Emergency food and housing costs
  • Medical and mental health care
  • Childcare and dependent support
  • Essential technology and academic resources
  • Unexpected travel needs

This fund is not a scholarship—it is a lifeline that provides rapid relief when students need it most.

Support The Indigenous Student Rapid Assistance Fund and help combat this problem.
