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.

    Award Amount

    The DEI Committee will award two, $1,000 scholarships for the 2025-2026 school year.

    Eligibility Criteria 

    Undergraduate students enrolled in a full-time hydrology related academic program. High school and graduate students are not eligible.
