Sean Uy of Wolf Point was named to the Abilene Christian University Spring 2024 dean’s honor roll. Uy is a junior majoring in environmental science. Uy was among more than 1,500 students named to the Spring 2024 Dean’s Honor Roll. To qualify, students must be registered for 12 or more credit hours and earn a GPA of 3.6 or higher.
Tyson Weeks was one of 19 Montana State University students graduating this spring after taking part in the Hilleman Scholars Program, which was created at MSU in 2016 to provide academic opportunities to Montana students who might not otherwise have considered a college education.
Weeks, of Wolf Point, majored in microbiology.
MSU Hilleman Scholars are selected each year based on personal essays, nomination letters, grades and financial need. Paramount in the selection process is evidence of significant academic achievement, leadership and career potential. MSU’s goal for the program is to advance these qualities, ultimately to help benefit the state, said Beck.
The program is named in honor of MSU alumnus Maurice Hilleman, the famed microbiologist originally from Miles City. A scholarship to MSU started Hilleman down a scientific path that eventually led to the development of dozens of vaccines, including ones for measles, mumps, and hepatitis A and B.
Hilleman Scholars are eligible for up to $21,500 over the course of four years of study.
