Chris Suran Memorial Scholarship
In loving memory of former board member Chris Suran
In November of 2025, Multnomah Anglers & Hunters lost dear friend and longtime membership coordinator and member Chris Suran. For 2026, we are honored to award the Multnomah Anglers & Hunters Memorial Scholarship in his name.
Established in 1942, the Multnomah Anglers & Hunters Scholarship is the organization's classic scholarship and has been awarded to 63 recipients.
In 1989, we began honoring Channing "Chan" Schenck, former president and member from 1933 until his passing in 1974, with 38 students having received his namesake scholarship to date.
Also established in 1989, this scholarship has been awarded to 39 students to date and honors former president and member Bill Schaeffer.
Established in 1992, 16 students have benefitted from this scholarship honoring former president and member Milt Guymon.
Member Mikel Mapes is honored through his namesake scholarship, which was first awarded in 2005 and has been given to 12 students.
We have honored many other past members with memorial scholarships, including Larry Cassidy (5), William Bogh (4), Bernie Tanory (1), Bob O'Loughlin (1), Roy Davenport (1), Douglas Kelley (1), Valerie Waterman (1), and Wanda Campbell (1).
