Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a large number of distinct individual scholarship recipients each year (168 in 2022, 207 in 2023, 276 in 2024), showing a broad recipient set in terms of count even though the mission is narrowly scholarship support.
New Applicants
The filing includes explicit application instructions and a submission address/phone, and the latest year shows all recipients recorded as new with no repeats, which together indicate a practiced, open scholarship intake for eligible applicants (subject to the Flathead County restriction).
