Forestry Scholarship Fund recipients selectedFriday 25 Nov 2011 Two lucky students have had their commitment to forestry education rewarded after receiving the news that they are the recipients of forestry scholarships in 2012. Patrick de Jong and Michael Dent have been named as the recipients of the 2012 undergraduate scholarships issued by the Forestry Scholarship Fund (FSF). Both students are enrolled at Southern Cross University, and undertaking a Bachelor of Forest Science and Management degree.Secretary to the Forestry Scholarship Fund Committee, Cassandra Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of the Institute of Foresters of Australia, commented that the quality of the applications received were of exceptionally high standard. "This year we have seen a number of applicants who show a high level of commitment and passion for Australian forestry as a long term career choice." "The aim of the Forestry Scholarship Fund is to encourage new recruits into forest education. These two guys bring to the industry exactly what it will need in the future. Every industry needs an injection of youth and enthusiasm to drive innovation and change," she said. The scholarship fund, established in 2009 and managed by the Institute is supported by industry and is committed to tertiary studies. The scholarships are also an incentive for students who are studying other science disciplines and who are considering a move to forest management. The Forestry Scholarship Fund also supports post-graduate studies with up to 15 scholarships available in 2012 for participants of the National Forestry Master’s Program.
