Supporting Departmental Programs

The following departmental foundation programs provide alumni an avenue to contribute support funds. The funds are accepted through the Oregon State University Foundation, a private, non-profit corporation which administers all types of gifts on behalf of Oregon State University. As a public charitable organization, the OSU Foundation is able to provide tax incentives to donors and friends of Oregon State University.

We thank you for your generous support!

Henry Mastin Memorial Scholarship – given to freshmen based on high school academic performance, financial need, and SAT scores. These are our only freshmen scholarship and were established to recognize the "Hank" Mastin's (‘42) strong convictions about using the best scientific knowledge available to manage our natural resources.


Roland E. Dimick Memorial Scholarship – awarded to a sophomore in the department based on freshman year performance. Prof. Dimick established the Department of Fish, Game and Fur Animal Management in 1936 and served as Department Head from 1936 until 1963.


William Q. Wick Memorial Scholarship – awarded to a fish and wildlife major with a preference to Oregon High School graduates. Bill Wick (B.S. ‘50, M.S. ‘52) was a national leader in Extension Sea Grant and was the Director of the Oregon Sea Grant program from 1973 to 1990. Bill left us a rich legacy on which each of us can build a better future for people as well as the natural resources of our planet.


Phillip W. Schneider Scholarship – awarded to a sophomore or junior student with good academic record and evidence of leadership abilities through their student and community activities. Phil Schneider made life-long contributions to natural resources management in Oregon and this scholarship was established under the philosophy that the natural resources of Oregon require a stewardship mission under a doctrine of public trust that is driven by environmental truths.

Please note: This scholarship is not currenlty being awarded. We need a minimum amount of $10,000 in the fund to begin making awards.


Coombs-Simpson Memorial Fellowship – awarded to a female graduate student in memory of Candia Coombs (‘79) and Gay Simpson (‘79), two outstanding alumnae of the department whose lives and bright careers were prematurely shortened.

Lee Wallace Kuhn Memorial Scholarship – awarded to a junior or senior in the department with a specialty option emphasizing wildlife based on demonstrated leadership skills and a strong potential for a successful career in wildlife. Prof. Kuhn was one of the early graduates of the Department of Fish, Game and Fur Animal Management (MS ’42) and was the second person hired as a permanent faculty member. He retired in 1981 after a 35-year career, but continued to be active in the Department until his death.

Registry of Distinguished Graduates

The Registry of Distinguished Graduates is intended to recognize a select few of our alumni who have made major contributions to the field of fisheries and wildlife, and who have achieved real distinction in a career in natural resource education, research, or management. The Committee for the Registry of Distinguished Graduates is composed of two faculty and two alumni. Candidates should be nominated from among those OSU graduates with at least 20 years of experience in the field. Nominations can take many forms, but should describe the highlights of the nominee’s professional career. A resume may be the most useful format, but a letter describing the nominee’s career and achievements also would suffice.

These handsome guys, all class of '42, were on the annual big game field trip and stopped for lunch near Raddue Ranger Station, Malheur National Forest near John Day, Oregon. The field trip was led by instructor Jay Long.
