Billings West Rotary Club Scholarship
The Billings West Rotary Club is one of three Rotary clubs in Billings, Montana. Chartered in February 1987, the club has contributed to the Billings community through college scholarships, annual Little League sponsorships, projects at ZooMontana, donations for drug enforcement dogs, local parks projects, and many other donations. On an international level, the Billings West Rotary Club has made contributions to improve drinking water safety, provide women in impoverished countries with sewing machines, and has also contributed towards the eradication of polio. The first scholarships available to MSU Billings students were awarded in academic year 2003-2004.
Impact
“MSU Billings has helped me become a better leader. I feel that it has helped me see my true potential in achieving more than just my goals. I do have big plans after college, either continuing in a doctorate program or becoming a controller of a major corporation. I am not going to sell myself short and I do know that I will be doing what I want to in life. I would like to thank you again for choosing me as the recipient of this award. I am so grateful and bless you and yours for this opportunity to excel.” – Shimmeri S., Accounting and Management double major with a minor in Interdisciplinary Honors
