Reach Higher Montana is Celebrating the Class of 2023

$40,000 in Prizes Available to Participating High School Seniors

Tuesday, March 14, 2023 - Helena – Reach Higher Montana (RHM) is celebrating the Montana high school class of 2023 with a Senior Send-off event on April 19th.

This year’s event will see nearly $40,000 in the form of scholarships, tool/equipment packages, laptops, iPads, and AirPods given to participating high school seniors. “We want to know what the class of 2023 is going to do after high school, whether that is college, military, apprenticeship, or straight into a career field,” says Kelly Cresswell, RHM Executive Director. “These prizes are our way of saying congratulations and giving them some resources to start out on the path to success”.

All Montana high school seniors are encouraged to enter the prize drawing by sending in a short video or photo with an explanation of what they plan to do in the coming year. “In the past, a few of the videos have been really entertaining,” says Cullen Gilbreath, RHM Digital Marketing & Communications Manager. RHM wants to give a special award to bring out more creativity in the entries. The $500 Reach Higher Montana Choice Scholarship will be given to four participants whom the RHM staff feels entered the most creative videos.

There are some important dates to note. Submissions made by March 17th will be eligible for the Early Bird Drawing, where two pairs of Apple AirPods will be given away and submissions will be given double entries for the final drawing. All entries are due by March 31st. The Senior Send-off event will be held on April 19th, videos and photos will be posted the week leading up to the event on our website and social media.
