Scholarships

In Washington, the SFI® program works with schools, universities, landowner groups, public agencies, and the public to foster educational opportunities that promote sustainable forestry.

​

The Washington State SFI Implementation Committee (SIC) offers several scholarships to Washington students pursuing an education in Forestry or Natural Resource Management.

​

• One set of scholarships is available to high school seniors who will be attending, full-time (12 units) during the school year, a Washington college or university and intend to enroll in a Forestry or Natural Resources program.

• One set of scholarships is available to continuing college-level students who will be attending, full-time (12 units) during the school year, a Washington college or university and are enrolled in courses offered through a Forestry or Natural Resources program.​

​

Students attending 2-year community or technical colleges are encouraged to apply. The scholarship committee will also consider students pursuing an education in the skilled trades, diesel tech, heavy equipment operation, engineering, CDL, etc... if candidates can show an intention to work in the forest sector.​​​
