C&R Musky Club Scholarship

The C&R Musky Club was established in 1996 to improve the musky fishery through stocking efforts and to support educational programs that inspire the next generation of musky fishers as well as future managers of our fisheries and aquatic resources. This scholarship supports a worthy student in Fisheries and Water Resources at UW-Stevens Point. Jack Stecker

Calvin J. Barstow II Memorial Scholarship

Cal was a devoted family man and equally devoted to his careers in waterfowl management, habitat development, and his passion to share his hunting heritage of waterfowl and upland birds, especially with the younger generation. In 1971, Cal was hired by Ducks Unlimited to serve as the Regional Director of the upper Midwest which included the states of WI, MN, IA, IL, ND, and SD. He retired from Ducks Unlimited in 1991 and had many years doing the things he loved: time with his family, hunting, fishing, woodworking and sharing his expertise in habitat and waterfowl management.

Christine and Stanton Thomas Natural Resources Leader Award

This scholarship endowment was initiated as a tribute to Christine and Stanton Thomas through support from a close friend. A UW-Stevens Point faculty member since 1980, Thomas served as Dean of the College from 2005 to 2020. Both she and her husband, an attorney, are avid outdoorspeople and conservationists. Dean Thomas is renowned for her 40+ year career in education and her efforts to eliminate barriers for women and other citizen groups to become engaged participants in the outdoors. This award recognizes students of junior status who demonstrate the potential to assume leadership roles at the state, national, and international levels.
