William R. Walker graduate fellowship

The Water Center has offered the William R. Walker Graduate Research Fellow Award since 1999. The award of up to $2,500 is intended for individuals preparing for a professional career in water resources. Only individuals pursuing graduate work in a field different from the field of emphasis as an undergraduate, or individuals with work experience returning to graduate school are eligible to apply.

A special panel will select the award recipient. The award can be used at the recipient’s discretion, during enrollment at a university as a student, for professional development (such as attending workshops and conferences) and purchasing materials that will enhance professional productivity (books, software, hardware, etc).
