Billy Miller.
Billy Miller’s family and friends are endeavoring to endow a scholarship in the late actor’s name at his alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin.
BJ — as he was known to those who loved him — was one of 20 students accepted into the university’s Department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF) at the Moody College of Communication back in the early aughts and in 2002 he emerged with a bachelor’s degree.
Now, plans are afoot to introduce the William John Miller II “Billy Miller” Memorial Scholarship. Says Miller’s sister, Megan Hubbell, “We want something positive to be held in his name in perpetuity through the University he loved. He would be honored to know that even in death, he can help someone else realize their dreams.”
In addition to the endowment, Miller’s family is encouraging people to take stock of their own mental health. “BJ would want anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts to seek professional help,” explained Hubbell. “Do not suffer in silence or try to muscle through on your own. Mental health is vitally important and shouldn’t be spoken about in silos behind closed doors but rather in open forums with open arms. Shame has no place in the discussion to seek help.”
