MISSOULA PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS REFERRALS GROUP

2026 Scholarship

The Missoula PBR  Scholarship

Each year, Missoula Professional Business Referrals awards scholarships to high school seniors in Missoula and Ravalli Counties. Unlike many scholarships, ours support all types of post-secondary education—trade schools, junior colleges, cosmetology programs, apprenticeships, and more.

​

While GPA and achievements are considered, our focus is on helping students who may face challenges accessing traditional scholarships. We believe everyone deserves the chance to continue their education, no matter the path.

​

Scholarship amounts vary, and many of our members contribute additional funds to reach as many students as possible. Awards are sent directly to the schools, and recipients are invited to a meeting to receive their certificate and meet our members.

​

We aim to show students that education comes in many forms and encourage them to pursue the path that fits their goals.​​
