2026 Spring & Fall S.A.S.S. Scholarships

The S.A.S.S. Scholarships are funded with revenue from the fundraisers held each year. Each year the S.A.S.S. Committee budgets the revenue for student support throughout the year. This consists not only of scholarship opportunities, but also student sponsored registrations, event travel, colloquium sponsorship, student outreach, and much more! It is because of the commitment from the NWRA members and item donors that this student support is made possible.

Nevada Water Resources Association is providing $500 S.A.S.S. scholarships to assist serious students with degree completion. The scholarships will be awarded to students attending a Nevada university or community college. Qualified students must be pursuing a degree in the field of water resources.
