## About this scholarship

The Gary Franklin Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation of the North State, is designed to support the next generation of professionals in the forestry sector. This program is specifically for students who are pursuing higher education to prepare for a career in the timber industry or a related forestry field. The funding helps cover educational expenses for students enrolled in qualifying postsecondary programs. To apply, students must complete the application process through the foundation, which typically involves demonstrating their career alignment with the forestry industry. While the provider manages the selection process independently, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish their overall financial need, as many community foundation awards consider this information. For the most up-to-date application deadlines and specific submission requirements, candidates should see the official page for current dates.
