Georgia Division, Society of American Foresters
Scholarship Award Winners

Each year, the Georgia Division of the Society of American Foresters selects a deserving student at the UGA Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources to receive a scholarship award. Recipients are chosen based on academic performance (GPA greater than 3.0) and membership in SAF. Scholarships are presented once a year at the School's Spring Honors and Awards Banquet held every April at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education. Scholarship recipients are provided with the opportunity to meet with the scholarship donors, and both scholarship recipients and award winners have their pictures taken to be submitted to their local newspapers.

Clayton Smith (left), an undergraduate duel-majoring in forestry and wildlife in the University of Georgia's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, was awarded the Georgia Division of the Society of American Foresters Scholarship at the School's 79th Annual Spring Awards Banquet on April 22, 2010. Clayton is a student member of the Society of American Foresters and the UGA Forestry Club. In addition, he is highly innovative and industrious through the use of poultry litter as a fertilizer on pine plantations and the production of biodiesel to power his own truck. Clayton anticipates graduation in December 2011 and plans a career in consulting forestry.
