The Zane McMillen Memorial Scholarship
Zane Michael McMillen tragically lost his life in an automobile accident at the age of 19. The Zane McMillen Memorial Scholarship was established in 2015 in order to memorialized Zane's life.
Zane was a 2012 graduate of Kittanning High School. His future plan was to serve his country in the military. Zane was very active and enjoyed a lot of activities that included hunting, guns and target shooting, going to the gym, riding dirt bikes, watching movies, wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts, the great outdoors, and playing video games. He loved hanging out with his friends and quoting lines from his favorite movies. Everyone who had the pleasure to know Zane would agree that he was always smiling and making people laugh. Zane often changed his mind about his career before settling on his goal of joining the military, but always, he was focused on public service so he could give back to the community that made him who he was.
