Flagstaff Chapter Intern Scholarship
The Flagstaff Chapter Intern Scholarship will not be offered for 2011!
Due to the level of effort involved in hosting the 2011 AHS Annual Hydrological Symposium and a lack of participating local employers the Flagstaff Chapter will not be offering the AHS Flagstaff Intern Scholarship in 2011. It is anticipated that the scholarship will offered again in 2012. Any interested student is welcome to apply for either the Herman Bouwer Intern Scholarship or the Leonard Halpenney Intern Scholarship. All the AHS intern scholarships are available to any qualifying student enrolled in an Arizona college or university hydrology related field of study.
Information for Students (for 2012)
The Flagstaff Chapter Intern Scholarship gives students enrolled in
a hydrology-related discipline at any Arizona college or university
in northern Arizona the opportunity to gain practical experience
in the multidisciplinary field of hydrology and water resources.
Recipients are chosen after a rigorous selection process and
serve their internship with employers in the Flagstaff area. The
Intern is required to complete 200 hours of service with three organizations
of his or her choice in government, private industry, environmental
services,
and water-resources consulting. The employer organizations provide
meaningful training and job experience that will better prepare the intern
for employment in their chosen careers. A $3,000 scholarship
is included as part of the award.
