Forest Engineering and Geoscience Bursary Available
The Division of Engineers and Geoscientists in the Forest Sector (DEGIFS) is pleased to offer a $2,000 bursary in 2008. This bursary is intended to provide financial assistance to a student in an accredited post-secondary or post-graduate program at a degree-granting institution in BC who intends to apply for registration as either a Professional Engineer or Professional Geoscientist upon completion of their studies. Studies should relate directly to professional forest engineering and/or forest geoscience/geotechnique.
Applications will need to include a paper or essay of no more than 5 pages describing/summarizing the proposed work that will be completed and how it relates to the advancement of forest engineering and/or forest geoscience/geotechnique. The DEGIFS Bursary Sub-committee will evaluate submissions based on:
applicant’s field of study as relevant to the practice of engineering and geoscience/geotechnique in the forest sector, career goals, grades, financial need and submitted paper. Papers shall be reviewed for relevance to engineering/geoscience/geotechnique in the forest sector, organization, clarity and references.
The deadline to receive for applications for the 2008/2009 DEGIFS bursary is June 30, 2008. Bursary guidelines are available at www.apeg.bc.ca/students/scholarships/degifsbursary.html. For additional information about the bursary or DEGIFS please contact Jeremy Araki at jaraki@forsite.ca.
