Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The University of Montana spends a bit more money to recruit than other institutions of a similar size, $659 per student compared to $623, according to a UM vice president.

Despite that, the number of students at the flagship has been falling since 2011. But Cathy Cole, UM’s new vice president for enrollment management and strategic communications, soon will have a report in hand that will help her know where to invest those dollars for the highest return — and where to avoid spending.
