[Geog_Jobs] Diversity Scholarship to Forestry Conference and Mentorship Opportunity

[Lynch, Amy]

Interested in forestry, natural resources, terrestrial ecosystems or other related fields as a career?

The Student Diversity Scholarship program is designed to promote leadership skills and create a community for those students involved. The program involves attending the Society of American Foresters (SAF) National Convention and participating in a series of activities focused on developing leadership and networking skills; opportunities to interact with leaders; and an opportunity to participate as a future leader in SAF.

The scholarship program includes complimentary registration to the SAF National Convention, exclusive networking opportunities, and a stipend to help fund additional costs such as travel and accommodations.

Each student will be paired with a mentor who is a career natural resource professional for the duration of convention. These mentoring relationships will continue for at least the year following the convention, but most continue beyond that point and help students grow their new networks. Past Student Diversity Ambassadors have discovered employment opportunities and funding for graduate education through their relationships with their mentors.

DEADLINE: August 27th
