AWRA Richard A. Herbert Memorial Scholarship

Scholarship Description

In 1980, AWRA established the Endowment-Memorial Fund to be used for the enhancement of education in water resources. The fund has since been renamed the Richard A. Herbert Memorial Educational Fund to honor Richard A. Herbert — a champion for water resources education — who passed away in 1994. In order to carry out his vision, AWRA is proud to announce the availability of scholarships derived from the proceeds of this fund. 

Applicants must be an AWRA member and must be enrolled full-time for the upcoming academic year (Fall/Spring semesters or Fall/Winter/Spring quarters). At least one $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to a full-time undergraduate student working toward his/her first undergraduate degree, and at least one $2,000 scholarship will also be awarded to a full-time graduate student enrolled in a program relating to water resources.
