Applications are now being accepted for the International Desalination Association’s 2011 Channabasappa Memorial Scholarship. Individuals wishing to be considered for this prestigious award have until June 1 to submit their application.
Named in honor of desalination pioneer K.C. Channabasappa, the Scholarship program confers scholarship grants of up to US$10,000 per calendar year to one or more graduate students studying engineering or science in preparation for a career in desalination or water technologies.
To be eligible, candidates must be current members of IDA, have graduated from an accredited university, and 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 reuse. Applicants are considered on the basis of their undergraduate transcripts, references and motivation for a career in desalination or water technologies. Candidates must also exhibit leadership and achievement potential. Four references are required, with at least one from an IDA director or member. The applications are reviewed by the IDA Scholarship Committee, which has at least two IDA members from universities.
