USS Bergall Association Scholarship Program

USS Bergall Shipmates and Family (SS-320 & SSN-667)

The Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the award of our $500.00 scholarship for 2017 to Mr. Benjamin Lowell Rust, resident of Easley, SC and son of Shipmate Lt. Lowell Rust (93-96), to attend Clemson University this Fall. Benjamin has an outstanding academic record in high school while still finding time for sports (soccer, baseball, basketball), clubs and volunteering in his school and community. He plans on majoring in mechanical engineering in college with a goal of utilizing this education to finding solutions to the many environmental issues of today. We congratulate Benjamin for his many achievements and are pleased to support his pursuit of a college education. We are sure his parents are very proud of him and pleased to see him continue his journey into higher education.

Help us continue this legacy with your contributions and spreading the word about the program with fellow shipmates that may have children, grand-children, etc. who may be interested and qualify for the program in the future.
