Don & Pearl Brosz Memorial Scholarship
Each year, the Wyoming Water Association awards up to three scholarships to members’ children or grandchildren to attend higher learning institutions. The $1500 scholarships further our goals of educating citizens on the importance of Wyoming’s water resources.
2025 Scholarship
The Wyoming Water Association is pleased to announce this year's essay topic:
Identify a current issue in Wyoming water resources for which different groups have different approaches, and summarize the best arguments from at least two different perspectives.
Children, grandchildren, and wards of current WWA members are eligible to apply. Student members of the association are also eligible. Students must be a Wyoming high school senior, a Wyoming high school graduate, or a student currently enrolled in a Wyoming college or vocational school. Applicants may not have received the scholarship in the preceding year but may apply for a second scholarship in a non-consecutive year. No student may be awarded more than two total scholarships.
The WWA Scholarship Committee will select three winners to receive $1500 towards the 2025-26 school year.
