About this scholarship
Bill was born in Billings, attended grade school in Billings and graduated from Billings Senior High School in 1961. In 1963 Bill joined the U.S. Marines and proudly served in Vietnam. Upon his honorable discharge in 1966 with the rank of Sergeant E5 and designation as sharpshooter Bill returned to Billings and enrolled in Eastern Montana College. A proud and honorable man, Bill was humble and strongly believed in service to others. Devoting his entire career to higher education, Bill found joy in supporting people so they could be successful. His legacy is filled with examples of kindness and always doing the right thing. He was the moral compass for many. Bill was a kind and loving man who had two main goals in life – making sure his wife and sons were happy and making sure he left the world a better place. He did both of these with resounding success.
