The U of I College of Natural Resources is one of the best in the country. We have a long tradition of excellence -- training leaders and producing cutting-edge research for more than 100 years. Your support gives students opportunities to conduct research alongside award-winning faculty, learn in some of the world’s best outdoor classrooms and gain the practical experience they need to launch their careers.

CNR Student Scholarship Fund

Scholarships provide necessary funds to CNR undergraduate students, many of whom would be unable to attend U of I otherwise. Students are automatically considered for scholarships based on criteria such as GPA, major and other qualifiers like financial need. A gift to the College of Natural Resources Scholarship Fund will provide much-needed support for students on their journey through higher education.

CNR Excellence Fund

Help students meet their educational goals, gain real-world experience and develop leadership skills. The Excellence Fund is essential to support students at the one-on-one level, particularly those who do not have the financial means to participate in CNR experiences that are beyond the scope of tuition costs, such as:

• Undergraduate leadership training opportunities and travel
• Student research opportunities
• Fieldwork with landowners, industries, agencies and nonprofits
• Technology and facility improvements that enhance learning environments

McCall Field Campus Excellence Fund

Support transformative experiences at the McCall Field Campus.

Your gift will help:

• Thousands of Idaho K-12 school kids learn science through outdoor, hands-on activities at the McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS)
• Undergraduates study in the field with natural resource professionals at the Summer Field Camp
• Graduate students improve their science teaching skills while working directly with Idaho K-12 kids
• Faculty research that improves our understanding and management of natural resources
