Scholarships 2017

Since 1997 the Southern California Chapter of APWA has conducted a Scholarship Program benefitting students who live in or attend school in our region. Since its inception, our Chapter has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships, allowing high school seniors and undergraduate college students who maintain a passion for community involvement and volunteerism, to continue to achieve their educational and career goals. To be eligible for an APWA Scholarship, students must major in a Public Works related field such as Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Technical Trade, etc...; plan to enroll as a full-time undergraduate student in a trade school, community college or university during the upcoming fall semester/quarter; meet a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50; and commit to 4-hours to promote APWA, serve the community and advocate Scholarship Program. The committee, made up of 6 volunteers, is responsible for preparing the flyer in the spring, advertising, updating, receiving and scoring the applications, notifying the recipients, assembly a program with student pictures and bios, organizing the award ceremony luncheon in July and verifying enrollment and commitments prior to issuing the scholarship check in the fall.
