ASFPM Foundation Future Leaders Scholarship
The ASFPM Foundation Future
Leaders Scholarship is awarded every other year to a deserving college student
entering their junior year of undergraduate studies or the last two years of a 5-year or dual degree undergraduate program. The Future Leaders Scholarship is intended
to advance flood risk management
research and practice. The ASFPM Foundation has established eligibility
criteria, and along with a demonstration of financial need, the student must be
pursuing a course of study related to
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.
Purpose
of the ASFPM Foundation Future Leaders Scholarship: The scholarship is envisioned as an additional means for the ASFPM Foundation to advance flood-risk management research and practice. It will be awarded to a deserving college
student who plans to work after graduation 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: The
scholarship is awarded for up to a two-year duration and will be awarded to a rising
junior in a 4-year undergraduate degree program or a student entering the last two years of a 5-year or dual degree undergraduate program.
Amount of Scholarship and What It Covers: The scholarship will be in the amount of up to $25,000 per year
for two years. Up to $25,000 per year will be paid directly to the scholarship
recipient’s college or university for tuition. Funds remaining after tuition payment
may be used for other educational expenses, room and board in a college
dormitory, or an equivalent stipend if living off campus.
Next application round is anticipated to open in late 2019 that would award a scholarship for the 2020-2021 & 2021-2022 academic years.
