National Needs Fellowships
The Department of Forestry at the University of Missouri has been awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to initiate a National Needs Fellowship graduate program that integrates disciplinary diversity in graduate training to support forest resource management decisions. The Fellowships will provide an excellent opportunity for two Master and two Doctoral students interested in decision- making through integrating knowledge from ecology, hydrology, forest management, forest economics and forest policy.
