MT Student Volunteer Award

Celebrating Service and Community Engagement

The Montana Student Volunteer Award (MSVA) honors the exceptional dedication and commitment of college students across Montana who have made significant contributions to their communities while pursuing their academic goals. In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Community Service, Montana Campus Network affiliate campuses proudly recognize individuals who exemplify the spirit of civic engagement and volunteerism.
