The Kyle J. Milliken Memorial Scholarship (Online MBA Only)

The Kyle J. Milliken Memorial Scholarship was created as a living memorial to honor Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Kyle Milliken.

Senior Chief Milliken, a 15-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, was a decorated SEAL who completed seven combat deployments and multiple overseas contingency operations before he was killed in action in May 2017. In addition to his distinguished service record, Senior Chief Milliken was also a dedicated student in our Online MBA program, and we at William & Mary are proud to honor his commitments to both national security and personal development through education.

The Kyle J. Milliken Memorial Scholarship provides military students around the globe with the critical support they need while working toward a world-class management education. The scholarship is awarded to a student on active duty or military veteran who has completed at least 16 credit hours in the W&M Online MBA program.

The Milliken Scholarship application window opens in May. The scholarship recipient will be notified before the fall semester start.
