Five scholarship recipients are studying forest management and environment (Félix Baril-Veillette, Frédéric Brunet, Pierina Désourdy, Emmanuel Jean and Ann-Julie Lévesque).

Three are studying forestry operations (Guillaume Fortin, Jérémy Fortin and Raphael Marcotte).

The final three are studying geography (Sabrina Allard), biology (Camille Bédard) and wood engineering (Jean-Sébastien Lavoie).
