Scholarship / Tuition Aid

WWOA’s mission is to foster an environment that promotes teaching and sharing of knowledge within the water industry. As part of this mission, WWOA offers scholarships to future wastewater operators and tuition reimbursement to its members.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A special benefit of membership in the WWOA is eligibility towards receiving financial aid for college expense. Four, $2,000 scholarships are awarded each year at the annual conference to financially assist a full-time student currently enrolled in an accredited college or university. Crane Engineering funds one and WWOA funds the other three $2,000 scholarships each year. Eligible students must be at least a second semester student in a degree program supportive of the wastewater field including civil, environmental, or sanitary engineering or other wastewater related degree programs. Award preference may be given to applicants who are sponsored by an active WWOA member.  WWOA member sponsorship is not required to apply for the scholarships.

North Central Laboratories (NCL) generously offers a $5,000.00 two-year scholarship each year to a student enrolled in a wastewater related field (the student receives $2,500.00 each for their Junior and Senior year for a total award of $5,000.00). The WWOA scholarship committee reviews the applications and recommends the award recipient to NCL.  A big thanks to Mike Raynovic and NCL for their generous support of the WWOA and the wastewater field!

Annual application deadline is July 1.
