The Kay McMillan Nursing Scholarship was established through a generous bequest from long-time Butte resident, Kay McMillan, who passed away in 2014. Kay was a graduate of the Montana Tech Nursing Program and spent most of her nursing career working at the Montana State Hospital in Warm Springs. Her experience as a Montana Tech nursing student changed her life and allowed her to have a successful and productive career.
