THE LEAFLET

For graduate students and advanced undergraduates, the Garden Club of America (GCA) awards funds to one or more students annually at $5,000. The funds are to be applied to study and research that will advance the knowledge of urban forestry and increase the number of scientists in the field. We’re proud to partner once again this year with the GCA to administer its Zone VI Fellowship in Urban Forestry. Applications are due January 31. The application is fairly simple, but don’t delay! With the end of year madness, this deadline creeps up.

Eligibility is open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in U.S. institutions studying urban forestry, environmental studies, horticulture, forestry or related programs. We encourage all eligible students to apply and look forward to reviewing applicant’s materials in the coming weeks.
