2009 Groundwater Scholarship Program
The Barton Springs/ Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) is now soliciting applications and essays for its 2009 Groundwater Essay Contest. One essay will be selected as the winning entry by an independent evaluation panel, and the author will receive a $1,500 scholarship to the college, community college, or training institution of his/her choice.
Essays must generally discuss groundwater issues, which may include but are not limited to non-point source pollution and pollution prevention, water conservation, or hydrogeology. While essays must focus on groundwater issues, applicants do not have to be planning a career path in a water-related field. Essays must be in the BSEACD office by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 2009. Please read the rules before submitting an application and essay.
