American Ground Water Trust College Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by American Ground Water Trust

Overview

The American Ground Water Trust (AGWT) offers scholarships for high school seniors who plan to enroll in an accredited two- or four-year college or university and intend to build a career in water resources with an emphasis on groundwater (examples: hydrogeology, water treatment, engineering, water law, etc.). Applicants will be reviewed for all available awards but may receive only one scholarship.

Beginning in 2025, AGWT will add a $2,500 scholarship funded by program supporters and attendees. The Trust is able to sustain this award because attendees cover credit card processing fees, helping continue AGWT’s groundwater-education mission.

General eligibility (applies to all scholarships)
- High school senior accepted to an accredited 2- or 4-year college/university.
- Intention to pursue a groundwater-related career (hydrogeology, water treatment, engineering, law, and related fields).
