The Montana Chapter of the American Fisheries Society lost an outstanding member and friend in November of 2003. Wally McClure was an incredible advocate and leader for conservation and wise management of aquatic resources in Montana.

In an effort to continue his legacy and promote educational opportunities, the MTAFS established an annual scholarship in his name for undergraduate and graduate fisheries students pursuing degrees in aquatic natural resources from a University/College in Montana.

2025 marks the 22st year of the Wally McClure Scholarship. The graduate award is $2,000 and the undergraduate is $1,000. Applications are due January 27th, 2025.
