Alliance Scholarship Program

Each year, the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water Associations recognizes outstanding students through its scholarship program. The Alliance hosts a Clay Shoot & Golf Outing for the Scholarship Program to raise funds.  The Alliance will award five scholarships to eligible applicants in 2027.  

Applications are now open for 2027

Applications are due by Friday, January 29, 2027.

 *Recipients must be dependents of an Alliance voting member, which are small and large water and wastewater utilities located throughout the state of Indiana. Eligible applicants must be a citizen or legal resident of the United States, a resident of the state of Indiana, and a dependent child of a voting member of the system employee. Our scholarships are open to high school seniors and recent graduates (within the past year) who are entering their first year of post-secondary education. Scholarship awards are presented during the AIRW Spring Conference in French Lick each year.
