Herman Bouwer Intern Scholarship

Deadline for Application (Students): March 17
Deadline for Application (Employers): April 23

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 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.

Information for Interested Employers

The Phoenix Chapter of the Arizona Hydrological Society is seeking interested employers from government, private industry, and environmental consulting firms to participate as a host to the 2008 Herman Bouwer Intern Scholar. The selected student recipient of this award will be in pursuit of a college degree in hydrology, geology, environmental science, civil engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field of study. This program is entering its ninth year of existence in the Phoenix area and will be selecting the 2008 Intern Scholar on April 21, 2008. The awarded student will have the opportunity to complete 320 hours of service between the dates May 1 and August 31 with at least three government or private industry organizations in the environmental, geological, or water resources field of study. The selected student will be required to complete a minimum of 40 hours of service at each organization. Part of the 320 hours of service will include the opportunity for the student to obtain their HAZWOPER training for entrance on hazardous waste sites. The scholarship program also provides a monetary award to the student of $4,800 FULLY funded by the Arizona Hydrological Society

This is an excellent opportunity for government or private industry organizations to try out a potential employee. Participating host organizations reserve the right to have the scholarship recipient sign a liability and confidentiality waiver. The Herman Bouwer Intern Scholarship Recipient will have the opportunity to choose from a list of interested government or private industry organizations that are in line with the student’s career goals. For this reason, the Intern Scholarship Committee wants any interested organization to respond by completing the Employer Interest Survey Form and e-mail it to us by April 23, 2008.
