F&ES Scholarship

$ 100,000   60 opportunities

The School of Forestry & Environmental Studies trains professionals for environmental careers, and its reputation stands on its ability to attract the students with high leadership potential. However, the modest amount of financial aid currently available to master’s degree students means that the school loses some of the best candidates. Just over 70% of the students enrolled in the School receive some form of financial aid, and the debt load for new graduates can exceed $50,000, a burden in a field where the average starting salary for is $46,000. The establishment of an endowed scholarship provides in perpetuity a critical source of financial aid to assist future leaders in the environmental arena.
