2026 Jeff Jurgens Memorial Scholarship Application Now Open

The Scottie Booster Club is currently accepting applications for 2026 Jeff Jurgens Memorial Scholarships. Application deadline is May 6, 2026.

The Booster Club has made significant changes to eligibility criteria of the scholarships. This year, graduating seniors of Glasgow High School who participated in any varsity sport or who are planning to pursue a degree in a medical or health-related field are eligible to receive the awards. Previously, JJMT scholarships were available to any Valley County graduating senior who had participated in basketball.

As in the past, additional considerations for scholarship awards are community service, academic achievement, and financial need.

Applications for 2026 scholarships must be received no later than Wednesday, May 6 in order to be considered. Applications are available from guidance counselors at Glasgow High School or from Andrew McKean by emailing montanamckean@gmail.com or calling 406-263-5442.

The Jeff Jurgens Memorial Scholarships are funded by proceeds from the annual Jeff Jurgens Memorial Basketball Tournament, the Scottie Booster Club’s largest fundraiser. The tournament was initiated in 1999 by the family of late Scottie athlete and super-fan Jeff Jurgens. The 2026 JJMT was held in mid-March in Glasgow, and hosted nearly 70 youth basketball teams from across eastern Montana.

Besides awarding annual JJMT Scholarships, the Scottie Booster Club helps purchase team uniforms and equipment for Glasgow High School and Glasgow Middle School activities, and otherwise supports Glasgow School District athletics and extracurricular activities. For information about becoming a Booster Club member or the benefits of membership, contact president Mike Pehlke at 406-263-9899.
