The International Desalination and Reuse Association (IDRA) is now accepting applications for the 2022-23 Channabasappa Memorial Scholarship, with final applications due October 15, 2022. Through this program, IDRA rewards up to 10,000 USD to a student member of IDRA pursuing further education in a graduate program of doctoral studies who intends to pursue a desalination and water reuse related research thesis.

To be eligible for the award, applicants must have graduated from an accredited university in science or engineering. Moreover, the applicant must prove admission to a graduate program of doctoral studies in desalination or water reuse and must exhibit leadership and achievement potential. All applicants must be members of IDRA.

To apply, applicants must submit their undergraduate and graduate transcripts to IDRA, as well as an official statement of purpose, detailing the applicant’s planned career in desalination and water reuse sector. Applicants should provide four (4) letters of recommendation, one of which must be completed by an IDRA member, in addition to the official Channabasappa Memorial Scholarship application, located on IDRA’s website here. Full details on application requirements can be viewed here.

Once the application window is closed, all applications will be reviewed by IDRA’s Education, Scholarship, and Fellowship Committee, with a final recipient announced no later than December 1, 2022. The recipient will be awarded the scholarship in two installments: the first, upon notification of a successful application; and the second, after IDRA has received a mid-term progress report from the student’s academic advisor.
