Impact
“Thank you very much for the Rob McCarvel Memorial Endowed Scholarship at MSU Billings. I am very honored to have earned this scholarship and appreciate how much it helps me to pay for my education. As a pre-medical student I greatly appreciate any and all help in paying for the long and extensive schooling I have ahead. I love working with and taking care of people and hope that my dream of getting into medical school is not too far from being realized. One day I will look back and be so grateful to those that have helped me through this very important time in my life, and you all, of course, are on that list.” — Douglas R., Biology and Pre-Professional Medicine major
