Coillte recently launched a very attractive New Scholarship Programme To Promote Forestry As A Career And Help Tackle Projected Skills Shortage In The Sector

Coillte, the semi-state forestry company, launched its first ever scholarship programme which will give two students the unique opportunity to pursue a full-time, third level programme within the area of forestry at either University College Dublin (UCD) or South East Technological University (SETU). The scholarship will award two students up to €20,000 for the duration of the degree programme (€5,000 per year) to support with fees and living expenses.

The Coillte Scholarship programme aims to highlight forestry as a fulfilling career for both men and women and attract the foresters of the future into the sector.
