More than Counting Pills: University of Montana Pharmacy Student Haley Cote First Recipient of Dean David Forbes Scholarship

Pharmacy student and Butte native Haley Cote is the first recipient of the Dean David Forbes Scholarship, a scholarship the dean of the College of Health Professions and Biomedical Sciences funds himself.

"Since I was a little kid, I wanted to do something with medicine," says Cote, who combines deep Montana roots with academic excellence and broad goals.

"I feel honored and grateful," Cote adds. She considers the dean "a great, great man."

Like other students in the Skaggs School of Pharmacy doctoral program, Cote is responsible for a supplementary fee on top of the standard UM tuition. The $2,100 scholarship, designed to help offset this fee, is awarded to a pharmacy student on the basis of academic merit and financial need.
