Ohio Forestry Association Foundation opens scholarship applications

The Ohio Forestry Association Foundation is accepting applications for its annual E.B. Miller Memorial Scholarship.

The scholarship is open to Ohio high school graduates pursuing education at an approved university, college, junior college or technical university offering a forest resource curriculum.

The scholarship fund was established in memory of E.B. Miller, a third-generation sawmill operator and promoter of Ohio’s forestry industry. The founders said the forest industry must continue to attract talented people to the field.

“The future will always require highly qualified professionals to address the industry’s challenges. For these reasons, the OFA Scholarship Fund was established to offer monetary assistance toward forest resource education to exceptional individuals,” Jenna Reese, Ohio Forestry Association Foundation executive director, said.

The deadline to apply is April 15. Recipients will be selected by the foundation’s scholarship committee and announced in June.
