Description

Each year through the ACWA Scholarship Program, ACWA awards scholarships to qualified students who must be attending an accredited University of California or California State University by the start of the academic year. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in a water resources-related field related to engineering, agricultural and/or urban water supply, environmental studies, or public administration. Applicants must submit at least two current letters of recommendation (but no more than three), with at least one of the letters originating from a college professor or employer; all letters of recommendation must include contact information for the letter writer. Scholarship recipients will be selected based on scholastic achievement; demonstrated motivation to the vocation of water resources-related management; the quality of the student's essay; and commitment to full-time enrollment for the entire academic year.
