In 2007 The Council of Forest Industries established our Forestry Scholarship with the goal to encourage young people in the interior of BC to choose a professional, technical or trades career in the forest sector. COFI provides ten $1,500 entrance scholarships to students enrolling at a post-secondary institution in the interior in a program leading to a career in the forest industry. The scholarships are funded through proceeds from COFI’s annual convention. Applicants must be planning to attend one of the ten interior post- secondary institutions in the fall of 2018 or 2nd semester 2019. Preference will be given to students entering a forestry-related program (see reverse for list acceptable elds of study).
