AWWA Scholarship Program - Woodard & Curran Scholarship Grant

The AWWA Scholarship Program, specifically the Woodard & Curran Scholarship, offers a $5,000 merit-based award annually to undergraduate or graduate students focused on water-related fields. This initiative aims to support historically marginalized communities, including women and BIPOC students, promoting equity in the water industry. With clean water being essential for community health, this scholarship reflects AWWA's commitment to nurturing the next generation of water professionals.

AWWA and its members recognize the importance of investing in students as the future of the water industry. AWWA supports students through a number of scholarships.
The Woodard & Curran Scholarship is a competitive merit-based $5,000 scholarship awarded annually to an undergraduate or graduate student with a demonstrated focus on drinking water, industrial water, municipal wastewater, flood mitigation/stormwater, water resources, or water reuse, with preference given to students who have experienced economic disadvantage or otherwise overcome significant barriers to education.
Clean water is the lifeblood of every community. At Woodard & Curran, we are specialists helping the public and private sectors treat, use, and reuse water through an integrated approach to science, engineering, design-build, and operations.
