Information for Students
The Herman Bouwer Intern Scholarship gives students enrolled in
a hydrology-related discipline at any Arizona college or university
the opportunity to gain practical experience in the multidisciplinary
field of hydrology and water resources. Administered by the Phoenix
Chapter, this scholarship acknowledges the extensive contributions
of Dr. Bouwer to the science of hydrology and to the AHS. Known
to many AHS members as “mentor and trusted friend,”
Dr. Bouwer is a charter member of AHS and the 1996 recipient of
the AHS Lifetime Achievement Award. We are honored to have him, a scientist of international stature, in our midst.
Recipients are chosen after a rigorous selection process and
serve their internship with employers in the Phoenix area. The
Intern is required to complete 200 hours of service with three organizations
of his or her choice in government, private industry, and environmental,
and water-resources consulting. The employer organizations provide
a meaningful training experience that will better prepare the intern
for employment in their chosen career goals. A $3,000 monetary scholarship
is included as part of the award.
