Erosion Control Association
Scholarship Announcement
Organizational Mission
The Western Chapter-International Erosion
Control Association (WC-IECA) unites academics, manufacturers,
and practitioners interested in effective and economical
methods of erosion and sediment control leading to improved
water quality and environmental restoration. Western
Chapter members are individuals located in, or doing
business in, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and California
who are also members of the International Erosion Control
Association (IECA).
Purpose
To provide two tuition scholarships of
$2,500 per year, in addition to mentoring, for continuing
junior, senior, or graduate school level students with
a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the erosion
and sediment control profession who are enrolled in a
related degree-program at an accredited 4-year college
or university. The Western Chapter will assign a mentor
to each scholarship recipient to act as a professional
resource to the applicant.
Eligibility
Since erosion and sediment control is a
cross-disciplinary field, a wide variety of degree-programs
will be considered, e.g., engineering, hydrology, soils,
geology, forestry, environmental studies, range management,
watershed, ecology, natural resources planning, etc.
Students must be enrolled in institutions within the
four-state area of the WC-IECA, i.e., CA, AZ, NV, or
