Each year at the Spring business meeting of the Southern Division of the American Fisheries Society (SDAFS), the Warmwater Streams Committee (WWSC) awards two graduate students the Jimmie Pigg Memorial Scholarship. To improve equity, the Committee will award $250 to each of a Master\u2019s degree and Ph.D. student. The award was named posthumously for Jimmie Pigg who was a long-time fisheries biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.\u00a0 Jimmie was well known for providing students money out of his own pocket so that they could travel to American Fisheries Society meetings to present their research findings. Because of his ardent support for student travel and his commitment to their development as fisheries scientists, the award named for him is one of the most prized and meaningful awards in the fisheries field. Judges are selected by the Chair and are members of the WWSC.\u00a0 Each winner receives a plaque, $250, and a one-year student membership to the American Fisheries Society. Applications for the Jimmie Pigg Award are due by December 9, 2022<\/strong>, and the winner is announced at the Spring business meeting of SDAFS.
