Many undergraduate and graduate students in the UK Department of Forestry and Natural Resources are supported by funds generated through scholarships, endowments, and other gifts. Our donors play an important role in providing educational opportunities for students that may not otherwise be able to attend college or pursue a graduate degree.

Other Ways to Help

There are other ways to help our program besides financial contributions. If you have the opportunity to visit with high school students or potential forestry students about the forestry profession, we would be happy to provide you with current materials on our undergraduate forestry program. In addition to helping recruit future forestry professionals, you can also help support our forestry students by providing internship opportunities, giving guest lectures, and reaching out to other alumni to help support our forestry program.
