Each year, WBC member companies support composites-related graduate work at Center partner universities, including Oregon State University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Maine, and Virginia Tech. In order to receive WBC funding, applicants must first be accepted into the Graduate School as full-time students at their respective universities. Project topics will be related to the WBC Center Research Agenda, so applicants must have an interest in working in the wood-based composites, or related, field. Often, other composites-related graduate funding is also available from WBC universities. See individual fellowship and assistantship announcements listed below for details on how and when to apply.
