Nancy Temperly and Roger Neill Carey Scholarship

Nancy grew up on a dairy farm near Galena, IL where she graduated from Scales Mound High School in Scales Mound, IL in 1962. Nancy received her BS in Medical Technology from UW-Platteville in 1966, which included an internship at Swedish-American Hospital in Rockville, IL. After graduation, she worked for eleven years at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, where she supervised the Hematology Laboratory. She felt that her coursework at UW-Platteville and internship at Swedish-American provided an excellent background for her work in the laboratory.

Nancy and her chemist husband, Neill, have been fortunate and they want to support good students with financial needs as they persue careers in science.
