GWS Scholarship Fund Donation

For many years the A&WMA-GWS has offered an annual scholarship to one or more students in the GWS Northern California region enrolled at an accredited university in undergraduate or graduate programs in atmospheric or environmental science and engineering; energy; environmental policy; or waste management.

To assure continuation of our long-standing regional scholarship program, we have established an A&WMA-GWS Scholarship Fund separate from the rest of the A&WMA-GWS operating budget.  We are suggesting contributions in the amount of $25, $50, $75, $100, or any other amount you are comfortable with.  You can be assured that our evaluation process will select the most deserving students, with a key selection criterion being financial need.

Contribution by PayPal (preferred method)

PayPal is the most convenient method of payment.  Click on the right to make your contribution.  Your donation is tax deductible.  Retain your PayPal receipt for your tax records for proof and date of payment.  A&WMA is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with the Internal Revenue Service as "Air and Waste Management Association, Pittsburgh, PA."  See IRS Publication 78 for further details (http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/).
