The late Nicholas Maxwell Curtis lived a life committed to sustainable forestry and helping others. His friends and coworkers have honored his memory by establishing the Nicholas M. Curtis Memorial Scholarship Endowment through the Forest Education and Conservation Foundation (FECF). The goal of the scholarship initiative is to help forestry students at North Carolina State University pursing an undergraduate degree in forest management ease their financial burden.
