Urban Forestry Fellowships
Deadline: January 31, 2008
Zone VI of The Garden Club of America has established a national fellowship in urban forestry for qualified U.S. university students. The fellowship will be given in early 2008 and will award recipients with $4000. This fellowship will forward the Garden Club of America's goal of advancing knowledge of urban forests and increasing the number of scientists in the field of urban forestry.
The fellowship is open to both advanced undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in urban forestry, forestry, horticulture, environmental studies or a closely related field at any 4-year college or university degree program in the United States. Recipients must be U.S. students who will be enrolled as juniors or seniors or graduate students during the fellowship period. The award is for $4,000 and recipients may apply for one additional year of funding.
Applications are reviewed by a selection committee at Virginia Tech composed of practicing urban forestry scientists and professionals in related fields. Final selection is endorsed by The Garden Club of America.
