Scholarship Programs

Investing in Future Innovators

At TasWater, we believe in nurturing the next generation of innovators who will lead the way in ensuring the sustainable management of water resources. To turn this belief into action, we proudly introduce the TasWater Women in STEM Scholarship, and TasWater Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Scholarship which are now available alongside the Steve Balcombe Scholarship Program.

Future Water Champions

The Scholarships are a remarkable opportunity for Tasmanian students embarking on full-time study in fields closely aligned with TasWater's core activities. These fields include engineering, environmental science, and earth science. We understand the importance of these disciplines in safeguarding our precious water resources, protecting the environment, and enhancing the essential services we all rely on daily.
