Each year the College of Forestry awards graduate fellowships made possible from endowments and gifts to the College.  These funds are administered by the Student Services Office, and selections are made by the College Graduate Fellowship Committee comprised of forestry faculty.  Awards ranging in value from $500 to $6000 are made to new and continuing graduate students and are supplemental to other financial assistance.

New student awards are made to prospective graduate students for the purpose of recruiting the highest quality students.  Continuing student awards are made to retain high quality students and to encourage and reward success.  Masters candidates are eligible to compete for two years of fellowship support; doctoral candidates three years.
