Scholarship Opportunities
The ASDSO Undergraduate Scholarship
The ASDSO Scholarship Program was established in 1992 to award excellence in the study of civil engineering and related fields, and to make students more aware of dam safety as a career opportunity.
Each year ASDSO awards undergraduate scholarships of up to $10,000 to U.S. citizens enrolled in accredited programs of civil engineering or related fields and planning careers in hydraulics, hydrology or geotechnical disciplines, or in other disciplines related to the design, construction and operation of dams.
ASDSO sets a March deadline for receipt of completed applications. Winners are announced in June. Undergraduate students planning to graduate in May/December 2011 are eligible for a 2010-2011 scholarship. Application Deadline: March 31, 2010.

Other Scholarships
The United States Society on Dams (USSD) annually awards one or two scholarships to U.S. college or university graduate students whose research studies have a potential for developing solutions to design, analysis, construction, operation, safety, environmental, maintenance and rehabilitation problems related to dams. The Scholarship Program is administered by the USSD Committee on Scholarships. Graduate students from U.S. academic institutions are invited to apply. Applications are encouraged from all fields of study related to USSD activities, including civil engineering, environmental and social sciences, water resources management, etc.
