Scholarships

The ILC Future Logging Workforce Scholarship is being presented at the 2026 ILC to encourage and reward students who are looking to further their education in the timber industry. The scholarship is open to students enrolled in a forestry related program in Washington, Idaho, Montana or Oregon pursuing future careers in logging, forest products, and the many trades we rely on to support the logging workforce. This includes but is not limited to technical degrees, certificate training, 2-year programs, and 4-year programs in forest operations and technology, diesel technology, industrial maintenance/ millwright technology, welding technology, or related programs, as long as the student is planning to pursue a career related to the logging and forest products industry. The $1,500 scholarship will be presented on behalf of the Intermountain Logging Conference. Applications will be evaluated based on academic performance and career focus on working in logging, forest products, or any of the supporting services we rely on in the region.
