Flooding and severe storms are increasing the most, as 45% of all flooding disasters have occurred since 2013.
- This scholarship aims to support undergraduate students who are focusing on water resources to help communities that have been impacted by floods.
- Any undergraduate student who is majoring in civil engineering at a college or university located in California may apply for this scholarship.
