criteria, and along with a demonstration of financial need, the student must be

the missions of the ASFPM and ASFPM Foundation. Also, after graduation the student must plan to work in a profession that directly, or
indirectly, supports the field of flood risk management.

The selected scholar will receive direct financial assistance, mentoring and support finding a paid summer internship in a relevant professional setting.
Duration of Scholarship: This scholarship is awarded for up to a two-year duration and to a student entering their junior year in a 4-year undergraduate degree program or entering the last two years of a 5-year or dual degree undergraduate program
