Creating Futures for Students
Your contributions make a difference — 40 out of the approximately 60 students enrolled in Paper Science and Engineering are receiving merit scholarships. Scholarships awarded during the first two terms of this academic year added up to just under $110,000!! Your contributions are creating futures for students and for the industry.

… and this year's numerous opportunities for intern and co-op positions provide an essential component of the total educational experience.

THANK YOU to our donors to date in 2005 who have given in addition to memberships:

Tom Friberg, Bill McKean, Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, Clark County Farm Forestry and Timothy Myers.

Matching Funds Agreement

The 2 to 1 Matching Funds agreement between Dean Bruce Bare, College of Forest Resources and the Foundation, has added $33,500 to the Foundation over the last three years.
