WLI Scholarships

The scholarship will be given annually to one participant in the Water Leadership Institute and highlights George’s commitment to developing future water sector leaders. This scholarship will cover the program’s full tuition.

The WEF Board has approved additional funds which will allow us to offer additional scholarships this year.  These scholarships cover part or all of the tuition cost, and are need based.  Funds will be allocated after the participants have been accepted to the program.  The amount will be deducted from the tuition invoice.  The total amount of funds available in 2026 is a max of 6 full scholarships. 

In addtion, WEF offers two full scholarships for InFLOW alum to participate in the program.  This covers tuition, travel and board for the program and is given to the top two scoring applicants.

NEW for 2026!  This year WEF is offering two scholarships covering the full tuition rate for people involved with Operations Challenge.  Being invovled can be at the national or local level as a team member, coach, judge or volunteer.  Recipeints will still need to cover travel and board for the in-person events, and the top two scoring applicants will recieve the scholarship.

To apply for any scholarships, you just need to answer the questions included in the WLI application.  There is no need to submit a second document. 

Scholarships will be evaluated after the deadline for application submission has passed and you will be informed about the status the same day as you are notified if you are accepted into the program.
