IDA invites Channabasappa scholarship applications

Applications have been invited by the International Desalination Association for its Channabasappa Memorial Scholarship, which seeks to encourage engineers and scientists to further their education in subjects related to desalination and water reuse.

The scholarship provides financial assistance to graduate students who have been accepted into a graduate program of doctoral studies and who intend to pursue a desalination and water reuse related research thesis.

The total maximum grant per student is US$ 10,000 per calendar year. The individual selected for scholarship must have other sources of funds to supplement this grant that will allow the student to complete graduate degree requirements.

Applicants must have graduated from an accredited university and must be from the top 10% of their class in science or engineering. The applicant must prove admission to a graduate program of doctoral studies in desalination or water re-use and must exhibit leadership and achievement potential. Applicants must be IDA members.

The deadline for submitting application documents is 1 June 2013. For information, contact Leslie Merrill at lmerrill@idadesal.org.
