Since the program’s inception in 1997, SCTC members and friends, through the Foundation,
have given 221 Marine Biology scholarship and grant awards totaling over $480,000. Your
generosity to the CSULB Marine Biology program continues to make it possible for students to
make great strides in the field of marine science. This results in the protection and preservation
of marine habitats that we, the anglers, depend upon. As donors, you can be proud that the
SCTC Marine Biology Educational Scholarship Foundation has been acknowledged in over 265
national and international scientific publications and presentations in recognition of support for
student-based marine science research.
Recent recipients of the SCTC Foundation scholarship and grant awardees include:
Racine Rangel (MS Biology, 2015 recipient) who is completing her PhD at UCI studying the
ecology of marine animals along changing coastlines. Racine is currently publishing papers and
applying for Postdoctoral Fellowships as well as for a university faculty position.
Ryan Logan (MS Biology, 2015 recipient) who is completing his Ph.D. at Nova University and
was awarded a prestigious Guy Harvey Fellowship. Ryan has been studying the catch and
release behavior of marlin and sharks working out of the Tropic Star Lodge in Panama. His plan
after graduation is to teach at the university level.
Caitlin McGarigal (MS Biology, 2015 and 2016 recipient) who was just offered a position as a
research scientist at the New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection examining how fish use
offshore windmills. Caitlin is still publishing papers from her research.
Jessica Peria (2017 Undergraduate award and Catalina Semester Scholarship) who is in the
MS Biology program at CSU Northridge studying giant seabass.
Ryan Hesse (2017 Catalina Semester Scholarship recipient) who is a CSU San Diego MS
Biology student studying bacterial communities associated with shark skin.
