ASDSO's Dam Safety Scholarship Program was established in 1992, recognizing that one of the keys to achieving the association's goals is the development of well-trained technical persons. Through the program, ASDSO annually awards a scholarship to at least one undergraduate student who has demonstrated an interest in pursuing a career related to dam design, construction, and operation and is studying in a related field. Applicants must be enrolled during the 2025-2026 school year in an accredited civil engineering program, or a related field as determined by ASDSO, and must demonstrate an interest in pursuing a career in hydraulics, hydrology or geotechnical disciplines, or in another discipline related to the design, construction, and operation of dams. Undergraduate students planning to graduate in May or December 2026 or in May or December 2027 will be eligible for the 2025 scholarship. Three letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the academic advisor, must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
