Rick Ross Student Scholarship

The Rick Ross Student Scholarship is one of six annual scholarships administered by the Canadian Water Resources Association to support graduate students in water resources. It awards $2,000 to a deserving candidate and is named in honor of Rick Ross's contributions to the Canadian water resources community. The award is determined through CWRA's unified single-application process. Results are announced to all applicants before March 31 of each year.

Open to Canadian citizens or permanent residents enrolled full-time in a graduate program at a Canadian university or college in both fall and winter terms. The applicant's research must relate to applied, natural, or social science aspects of water resources.

Applicants submit a unified CWRA application through their university or college department by January 31 at 11:59 PM PST. Proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency is required. Selection is based on academic excellence and research relevance to water resources management.
