Information for StudentsThe 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 240 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 $4,800 monetary scholarship is included as part of the award. E-mail us if you would like more information about the Herman Bouwer Intern Scholarship Program.
