Richard A. Herbert Memorial Scholarships (Visit this link)

Background
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 $4,000 in scholarships derived from the
proceeds of this fund.
Eligibility
Each applicant must be a national AWRA member. One $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to a full-time undergraduate student working toward his/her first undergraduate degree and who is enrolled in a program related to water resources for the 2006-2007 academic year. One $2,000 scholarship will also be awarded to a full-time graduate student enrolled in a program relating to water resources for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Selection Criteria
The undergraduate scholarship will be awarded to the student most qualified by academic performance. Measures of academic performance include the cumulative grade point average, relevance of the student’s curriculum to water resources, and leadership in extracurricular activities related to water resources. The graduate scholarship will be awarded to the student most qualified by academic and/or research performance. The measures of academic performance are identical to those of the undergraduate scholarship with the addition of the quality of the student’s research and its relevance to water resources. Recipients will be selected by the AWRA Student Activities Committee and announced during summer 2006.
Application Process
Applicants should prepare a title page and a two-page summary of their academic interests and achievements, extracurricular interests, and career goals as they relate to the above selection criteria. Summaries must be limited to two pages. The application must also include three letters of reference (preferably from professors and/or advisors), a transcript of all college courses (undergraduate and graduate), and the applicant’s full name, permanent mailing address, email address, and a phone number at which she or he may be easily reached. ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION MUST BE SENT IN ONE PACKAGE!!
