The Forestry Scholarship Fund was founded by the Forestry Capital of Canada Committee during Nackawic’s tenure as Forestry Capital of Canada in 1991.
Recognizing the role of education in perpetuating Canada’s Great Forests, the Committee raised the money for this legacy during the organizing and implementation of many events structured to commemorate our forests and forestry industry. On completion, this fund was donated to the Town of Nackawic to assist in the education of a Nackawic Senior High School student intent in furthering their career at a community college, forestry school, or university of his or her choice.
The student must be accepted in a program of the environmental sciences, i.e. biology, chemistry, engineering or other related disciplines at a community college, forestry school, or university of his or her choice.
The fund is now administered by the Council of the Town of Nackawic.
Please write a brief essay relating your career to the forest industry.
Interested students will apply by completing the questionnaire on the reverse side of this sheet and by mailing or delivering same to the Town Hall no later than June 12th , 2023.
The Town will announce the name of the successful applicant each year during the Nackawic Senior High School Graduating Ceremonies. This is a one-year scholarship and cheques will be made payable to the educational institution in which the student is enrolled.
