CWRA Memorial Scholarship

The CWRA Memorial Scholarship is among the most prestigious of the six annual scholarships offered by the Canadian Water Resources Association, with awards ranging from $1,500 to $5,000. It recognizes outstanding graduate research that advances understanding and management of Canada's water resources. A single unified application is used for all CWRA scholarships, and recipients are announced before March 31 each year.

Open to Canadian citizens or permanent residents enrolled full-time in a graduate program at a Canadian university or college during both fall and winter terms. Research must address applied, natural, or social science aspects of water resources management.

Applicants submit one application for all CWRA scholarships through their department or institution by January 31 at 11:59 PM PST. Selection is based on academic excellence, relevance of research to water resources, and equity and diversity considerations.
