World Forest Institute International Fellowship Program

2016 World Forest Institute International Fellowship Program – Applications Now Being Accepted!

The award-winning WFI Fellowship program brings professionals in natural resources to conduct a practical research project at the World Forestry Center.  In addition to projects, Fellows participate in weekly field trips, interviews and site visits to Northwest forestry organizations, research labs, universities, public and private timberlands, trade associations, mills, and corporations.  The Fellowship is a unique opportunity to learn about sustainable forestry from the Pacific Northwest forestry sector, and to work with colleagues from around the world.  Fellowships are open to any country, including U.S. citizens. The Fellowship program offers partial scholarships through the Harry A. Merlo Foundation, but most applicants must be able to cover at least 50% of the program fee. Over 100 Fellows from 30 countries have participated to date.  The term is 6 to 12 months, and the application deadline for the 2016 program is December 31, 2015.  For more information and how to apply, please visit:  http://wfi.worldforestry.org/index/international-fellowship.html
