SAM AND MARGARET KELLY WILDLIFE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP

Sam and Margaret Kelly were both born and raised in Wyoming. They both graduated from the University of Wyoming and resided in Rawlins for their entire married life. Sam, especially, has always had a soft spot for our beautiful country and the animals that inhabit it. He served for several years as a Commissioner on the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission, which was one of the highlights of his public service career. Margie was always very active on the statewide political landscape. They owned and operated a Texaco bulk distributorship in Rawlins along with several area service stations. They have always appreciated the tourism industry in Wyoming, and credit it and Interstate 80 with their business successes. This Scholarship was created in 2014 with the hope of advancing wildlife research and wildlife health within this Great State of Wyoming.
