Who Is MPSEOC?
MPSEOC stands for Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council.  We are a 501 (c) 3 Tax Exempt Organization that was officially established in 1991 but was serving Montana for several years before this official nonprofit filing date. We are here to help keep Montana education connected and serving students together.  By working together we are able to offer more quality services and programming with a broader reach.  A special thank you to all our Montana schools and educational members for keeping this mission strong for almost 30 years!
