Montana 10 is a Pilot Project

Montana 10 is part of a study being conducted by the Montana University System and the research group MDRC. The study will measure the effect of these types of services and financial supports on Ñý¼§Ö±²¥' outcomes. Space is limited in the program. If you are interested in and eligible for the program and study, you can enter a lottery for a spot in Montana 10. Just over half of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ who apply will be able to participate in Montana 10. If you have questions or want to learn more, you can contact Jamie at jamie.miller@mso.umt.edu
