On February 12, PA American Water announced applications are being accepted for its 2019 Stream of Learning Scholarship Program to provide financial assistance to high school seniors who are planning to pursue careers in the water and wastewater industry. 

The deadline for applications is March 22.

The program is designed to support outstanding students living in Pennsylvania American Water’s service territories who are charting a course of study in specific fields, ranging from engineering to environmental science.

The company will award scholarships of $1,000 each to 10 students who are selected through the program’s application process. Applicants must meet the following criteria:

-- Students must currently live in Pennsylvania American Water service area. (Students can attend a learning institution outside of the company’s service territory.)

-- Students must plan to attend a two- or four-year college or technical school, and must plan to study environmental science, engineering, biology or chemistry.

-- Students must be high school seniors. (Current college students are not eligible.)

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and will receive their awards in May. Family members of Pennsylvania American Water employees are not eligible.

This month, the company sent scholarship brochures and applications to high school guidance counselors throughout its service territory.
