Besozzi Delegate and Scholarship Program

"Similar to other Member Associations, the Indiana Young Professionals Committee developed a scholarship and grant program titled the "IWEA-Besozzi Scholarship" and "Besozzi Youth Delegate Grant" to accomplish three goals; (1) to provide the financial means for an operator, who has never attended the IWEA Annual Conference, an opportunity to attend, (2) to provide a financial means for students in Indiana universities and technical schools to continue pursuing degrees or certifications in the water environment field, and (3) to recognize the financial and professional contributions of Leo Besozzi to IWEA and the water environment profession. The youth delegate and scholarship recipients are required to gather information on innovative and cost effective water pollution control methods and to relay that information to their communities, as part of their qualifications requirements.

The Besozzi Youth Delegates qualify based on meeting criteria above and are nominated by Indiana’s operator associations on a rotating basis using the following order:

  • CIOA – 2006

  • IIOA – 2007

  • NIOA – 2008

  • NWIOA – 2009

  • SIOA – 2010

You must satisfy the following criteria in order to be eligible for the IWEA-Besozzi scholarship:

  • Attend school in Indiana, full or part-time, for a certification or degree (i.e. technical, vocational, bachelors, masters, or PhD);

  • Have completed, at least, the equivalent to one year in college; and

  • Enrolled in study related to the water pollution control industry.

Donations for IWEA-Besozzi Scholarship

IWEA is in the process of collecting donations for the IWEA - Besozzi Scholarship to be given annually to an Indiana student pursuing a certification or degree related to the water environment.

All monies collected will be placed in a scholarship fund managed by the IWEA Board of Directors. Applicants will be evaluated by the Young Professionals Committee based upon the above criteria and an application package.

Donations at all levels are appreciated and show your support for the next generation of water environment professionals. Donations can come in two forms: CORPORATE or PRIVATE and all donations are tax deductible.
