Gifts from Scott and Payne families complete fundraising for MSU’s American Indian Hall

Gifts from two prominent Montana families have completed the fundraising for a $20 million American Indian Hall on the campus of Montana State University.

Jim and Chris Scott of Billings and the Terry and Patt Payne Family of Missoula each gave $1 million respectively to finish off the campaign, which started 13 years ago but received new life in October when the Kendeda Fund gave $12 million and the Associated Students of MSU pledged another $2 million. Sixteen donors have also committed $1.1 million to the American Indian Hall since October.
