IWSH Foundation Invites Submissions to 2020 Scholarship Essay Competition
The International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH), a bridge for the international water, sanitation, and hygiene community with specific focus on the role of the plumbing industry in community collaborations and educational exchange, has announced the topic for its 2020 Scholarship Essay Competition:
“With which like-minded organizations should IWSH partner and how would these specific partnerships advance and enhance the IWSH mission to deliver clean water and safe sanitation to those most in need?”
The competition, originally an IAPMO initiative and now entering its eleventh year, will again award monetary scholarships to three students and/or trade apprentices with an interest in how the plumbing and mechanical industry can create and promote positive change both here and abroad.
The competition is open to any student actively enrolled in a high school, community college, trade school, four-year accredited college or university or working in an apprentice program.
Submitted essays must be the completely original work of the submitter and a minimum of 800 words. The essay entry deadline is April 30, 2020, via email, fax or mail to IAPMO World Headquarters. The winning essay will be announced in September at the 2020 IAPMO Education and Business Conference in Charlotte, NC.
