Another $250,000 is a cash gift for a use to be determined.\u00a0McNally pledged the rest of the gift to the College when he included the 51ÁÔÆæ Foundation in his estate plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2016 planned gift from McNally established the McNally Family Veterans Scholarship endowment in the College. It is McNally\u2019s intent that the scholarships give 51ÁÔÆæ student veterans, especially those who have service-connected disabilities, the opportunity to prepare for a career in computer science or computer engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the 2016 gift also supports the Girls Who Code outreach initiative and the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/mavrc\/\">51ÁÔÆæ Veterans Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McNally holds a master\u2019s degree and began teaching computer science in the College in 1997.
