The Richard A. Herbert Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Richard A. Herbert, a champion for water resources education, who passed away in 1994. Applicants must be an AWRA member and must be enrolled for the full 2025-2026 academic year (Fall/Spring semesters or Fall/Winter/Spring quarters). At least one $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to an undergraduate student working toward their first undergraduate degree, and at least one $2,000 scholarship will also be awarded to a graduate student enrolled in a program relating to water resources. The undergraduate scholarship will be awarded to the student member most qualified by academic performance. Measures of academic performance include the cumulative grade point average, relevance of the student's curriculum to water resources, and leadership in extracurricular activities related to water resources. The graduate scholarship will be awarded to the student member most qualified by academic and/or research performance. The measures of academic performance are identical to those of the undergraduate scholarship with the addition of the quality of the student's research and its relevance to water resources. Applicants must submit a title page that includes their full name, permanent mailing address, email address, phone number where they may be easily reached, and the type of scholarship (undergraduate or graduate) they are applying for. They are also required to submit three signed letters of recommendation from their professors and/or advisors. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
