Pennsylvania American Water today announced that applications
are being accepted for its 2017 Stream of Learning Scholarship
Program to provide financial assistance to high school seniors who
are planning to pursue careers in the water and wastewater
industry. The program is designed to support outstanding students
living in Pennsylvania American Water’s service territories who are

The company will award scholarships of $1,000 each to 10
students who are selected through the program’s application
process. Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Students must currently live in
Pennsylvania American Water service area. (Students can attend
college outside of the company’s service territory.)
- Students must plan to attend a two- or
four-year college or technical school, and must plan to study
environmental science, engineering, biology or chemistry.
- Students must be high school seniors.
(Current college students are not eligible.)
“In the eight years since we launched the program, we have seen
how our Stream of Learning Scholarships have attracted many bright,
dedicated students into our industry,” said President Kathy L. Pape
of Pennsylvania American Water. “We believe in supporting talented
young people who have so much to offer and who share our commitment
to environmental stewardship and protecting public health.”
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and will receive
their awards in May. Family members of Pennsylvania American Water
employees are not eligible.
