57 Montana grad students earn Crawford scholarships

Montana State University

Fifty-seven graduate students at Montana State University have been awarded inaugural Crawford Wildlife Habitat Scholarships, which provide opportunities to bolster research in wildlife habitats and which were made possible by the largest scholarship endowment in university history.

The scholarships are available to MSU graduate students who are interested in wildlife habitat research, education and outreach in their disciplines. The annual award provides $5,000 per semester to help recipients cover the cost of their education. The scholarships are funded by a $30 million endowment gift from Gallatin Valley resident Kathy Crawford and her late husband, Thomas “Tim” Crawford.
