2020 World Forest Institute International Fellowship Program – Applications from July 1 to October 15, 2019




The award-winning WFI Fellowship program brings natural resource professionals from around the world to our World Forestry Center headquarters in Portland, Oregon USA. The Fellowship is a 6-month professional development program designed to help you take your career to the next level. You will join a global cohort of professionals in weekly study tours around the Pacific Northwest learning how natural resources are managed in this part of the world. You will conduct interviews with experts in your field of study and visit people and places that will advance your knowledge and skills. Fellows return home with new ideas and new motivation to create change in their home countries (2019 videos of lessons learned).

Sharing about the forests of your country
We are looking for motivated early and mid career professionals (3- 5 years of relevant work experience) who want to explore, expand their knowledge and networks, and engage with others in forestry/ natural resource management.

Merlo Foundation, but applicants must be able to cover at least 50% of the program fee ($5,000). Over two decades, 148 Fellows from 47 countries have participated to date.
