The SWANA Beaver Chapter strives to award two Ben Masengil Scholarships every year – one for a high school graduate entering college and one for a returning student. All nominees must be children or grandchildren of current SWANA members.

This year’s scholarship recipients are Adam McCuistion, son of Jay McCuistion of Columbia Environmental, and Karlie Hibler, daughter of Kim Smith of Eugene.

Karlie was born in Eugene and graduated from North Eugene High School in 2006. She started classes at Lane Community College during the 2008 summer term and has been going full time ever since. Karlie’s major is zoology and she is planning on enrolling in veterinary school or pursuing another graduate program in zoology after finishing her undergraduate studies in spring 2010. Her career goals lie within the field of wildlife conservation and she hopes to work with endangered and/or threatened species.

Adam McCuistion plans on attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this fall and majoring in Electrical Engineering. This past year he graduated from Ridgefield High School in Ridgefield WA. He has three older brothers. He was involved in premiere soccer for seven years, 4-H for nine years, Varsity basketball and soccer in high school, and also National Honor Society.
