The Gottstein Trust awards Scholarships for students who are studying in a field of study relevant to a future career within the forestry and wood products sector.
Applicants are typically university undergraduates or postgraduate students who are undertaking a bachelor’s degree, graduate diploma, master’s degree or PhD program in wood science or forest science. Applications are also received from TAFE students.
The scholarship provides funds up to a maximum of $5,000 per annum to each successful applicant for either one, two or a maximum of three years.
The funds are made available to the Scholarship holder for the purpose of meeting living, relocation, and education-related expenses. Payments are granted subject to ongoing proof of appropriate progression of study and achievements.
The Trustees are responsible for the governance of the Trust Fund and thus they determine the awarding of every Scholarship. The guiding principle is that the scholar has aptitudes and aspirations that are judged as being consistent with the Trust’s guiding principle to promote the development of the Australian wood products and forestry industry.
