Since 2018, AARP Montana has offered a yearly essay contest scholarship, which celebrates tribal elders. AARP Montana has partnered with tribal colleges across the state to offer the "Honor Your Elders" scholarships. The students with the winning essay receive $1,000 to be used toward tuition and/or books for the academic year.
Given that the vast majority of people 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities as they age, AARP Montana has prepared information on how to do so.
Many Montanans facing rising energy costs are unaware of resources to help them avoid having to choose between paying for heating bills and other necessities.
