The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Scholarship, a program
coordinated by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher

amount. All associate degrees are eligible for this scholarship,
subject to enrollment limits established by the Montana Board of
Regents.
Recipients must be from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
