MN AWWA Water Utility Management Institute Scholarship

The Minnesota Section of the American Water Works Association (MN AWWA) awards up to six (6) tuition‑paid scholarships to individuals to attend the annual Midwest Regional Water Utility Management Institute (WUMI). The WUMI is sponsored by Hamline University's Center for Public Administration and Leadership and is supported by MN AWWA, American Public Works Association Minnesota Chapter, and Suburban Utility Superintendents Association.

The Midwest Regional Water Utility Management Institute is a three day workshop held each February at Hamline University in St. Louis Park.
