Each year through the Association of California Water Agencies Scholarship, ACWA awards one scholarship to qualified graduate students. Applicants must be attending an accredited public or private U.S. college, at the start of the academic year covered by the scholarship. They must be pursuing a graduate degree (Master's, PhD, or Law School) in water law and policy or public administration with a demonstrated concentration in the field of water resources. Applicants who are enrolled either part-time or full-time for the entire academic year are eligible. This will vary by school but usually equates to 5-10 units for part-time enrollment and 12-25 units for full-time enrollment. Applicants must submit two current letters of recommendation, but no more than three, with at least one of the letters originating from a college professor or employer. Scholarship recipients will be selected based on scholastic achievement; demonstrated motivation to the vocation of water resources-related management; and the quality of the student's essay.
