On February 14, PA American Water announced applications are being accepted for its 2020 Stream of Learning Scholarship Program to provide financial assistance to high school seniors planning to pursue careers in the water and wastewater industry.   The deadline for applications is April 3.

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.

For more information, visit the Stream of Learning Scholarship Program webpage and questions should be directed to: Pa.communityrelations@amwater.com.

Information on other community programs is available on the PA American Water Community Involvement webpage.
