The AIH Board of Directors launched its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) Committee in 2022 with a charge to develop a DEI Scholarship Fund. The DEI Committee established this scholarship to further the AIH goal of extending educational and professional opportunities to those not commonly represented in hydrology-related fields.

At its discretion, the DEI Committee will award financial scholarships for students along with a year-long AIH membership and access to mentor consultation with a current AIH member. Mentor activities may include: Preparation of a resume, preparation for certifications or other exams, or job interviews.

The DEI Committee will award its first scholarship for the 2025-2026 school year.
