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 of schedule and amount, the DEI Committee will award financial scholarships for students along with a year-long AIH membership and access to two hours of mentor consultation with a current AIH member.
