The Section offers up to seven $2,500
scholarships for those pursuing a two-year
or four-year college degree program. We’re
also offering two $5,000 scholarships for
those seeking graduate studies at the master
or doctorate levels. Applications for these
scholarships are due March 15, 2022.
For those who want training as a drinking
water treatment or distribution operator, the Sec-tion
has the One AWWA Operator scholarships.
We offer training funding up to $1,000 each to
offset coursework and other expenses. You can
apply for these scholarships at any time.
Our goal is to support education for those

water world. Career options vary and include water treatment
plant operators, distribution system operators, chemists, lab
technicians, biologists, ecologists, environmental and civil
engineers, mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades, envi-ronmental
scientists and public administrators. Any role that
supports safe drinking water is eligible.
Application forms, detailed instructions
and frequently asked questions are on the CA-NV
AWWA Section website (ca-nv-awwa.org).
Scholarships are open to anyone with a
demonstrated interest in a professional drink-ing
water world career. The Scholarship Com-mittee
will evaluate each application carefully
and consider the application’s quality and com-pleteness,

for a drinking water career. Awards will be an-nounced
by June 1, 2022.
