When Maniyah Lunceford graduated from Anaconda High School in 2024 with a stellar 4.3 GPA, she already had a clear vision for her future.
Driven by the core value of helping others, she enrolled at Missoula College to major in Radiologic Technology — a field that offers both meaningful work and a stable career path.
Lunceford’s connection to Town Pump runs deep. Her mother, Lorna, has been a valued team member since 2007, and Maniyah herself currently works at a Montana Lil’s location in Missoula while balancing her studies. This dedication has paid off: 2025 marks the second consecutive year Lunceford has been awarded a Town Pump Scholarship.
She said that she would encourage anyone who may qualify to apply for the Town Pump Scholarship.
“The application process is simple,” she said. “Bill was even very helpful in making sure the check made it to the correct place at the school.”
