2024 Scholarship Program

Water utilities continue to transform themselves, becoming innovative drivers of economic growth, resource recovery centers and anchor institutions of the communities they serve. The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), the Water Environment Federation (WEF), and The Water Research Foundation (WRF) strongly believe that interfacing with global innovation is a key way to help water utilities continue on their journeys of transformation. The Singapore International Water Week scholarship is intended to help utility leaders in the United States engage with and learn from their peers across the globe.

Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), June 18-22, 2024, is an opportunity to see the future of water solutions unfold. SIWW is a global platform to share and co-create innovative solutions reinforcing a commitment to the global integration of sustainable water management strategies with urban planning processes. Addressing contemporary challenges, SIWW gathers global water leaders and practitioners from the public and private sectors to engage in discussion and debate, network with key industry players, showcase leading-edge technologies and best practices, and identify practical methodologies to address water issues.

NACWA, WEF and WRF have partnered with Singapore International Water Week to sponsor a United States delegation of high-level utility managers and have collaborated to create a scholarship fund to help cover travel costs. High-level utility managers of U.S. water or wastewater utilities with membership/subscriber affiliation with NACWA, WEF, or WRF, are encouraged to apply by January 5, 2024.

International exchange breaks down barriers, accelerates technology transfer, and creates an understanding of innovative policy options to enable resource recovery. Apply today for a Singapore International Water Week Scholarship!
