Pennsylvania American Water this week announced that applications are being accepted for its 2019 Stream of Learning Scholarship.

The program, which is in its 10th year, provides financial assistance to high school seniors who are planning to pursue careers in the water and wastewater industry. The program is designed to support outstanding students living in Pennsylvania American Water’s service territories who are charting a course of study in specific fields, ranging from engineering to environmental science.

The company will award scholarships of $1,000 each to 10 students who are selected through the program’s application process.  

To be eligible, students must live in the Pennsylvania American Water service area, but are not required to be a student at their local public school. Students can attend a learning institution outside of the company’s service territory, as long as their household is within Pennsylvania American’s territory.
