Douglas J Megargle Memorial Scholarship

Douglas J Megargle

Douglas J. Megargle
(1966-2019)

This scholarship is in memory of Douglas (Doug) J. Megargle who was a successful fisheries professional for 22 years with Idaho Department of Fish and Game in both research and management. Doug was an enthusiastic member of the American Fisheries Society, attending nearly every Idaho Chapter meeting during his professional career. Doug’s enthusiasm for the profession was infectious, and one of his greatest passions was mentoring young professionals as they began their fisheries careers, steering them as often as possible toward graduate school and AFS membership and involvement. Doug died in an automobile accident on May 14, 2019, while on duty. This memorial scholarship is intended to honor Doug’s legacy of promoting the development of young fishery professionals and will be awarded annually to a graduate student attending or affiliated with a student subunit at any school in Idaho. This scholarship was created by generous donations from the Megargle family and the Idaho Chapter.
