SCV Water, in partnership with the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), has created the Edward G. “Jerry” Gladbach Scholarship.
This annual program was established in honor of the late Edward G. “Jerry” Gladbach, a past ACWA president, SCV Water vice president, and longtime local, state, and national water leader.
As a part of the program, each year the ACWA Scholarship Program awards one $2,500 scholarship to a qualified undergraduate student.
“We wanted Jerry to be remembered in our community as a key supporter of our mission to provide reliable, high-quality water for the SCV,” said General Manager Matt Stone. “Jerry had a deep and durable involvement in many organizations, including ACWA, whom we partnered with to continue to inspire the next wave of water professionals with Jerry’s devotion to California water.”
In addition to serving on the Board of Directors for SCV Water, Jerry was a leader in state and national water organizations. He was active in ACWA, serving as president from 2002 – 2004, and taking roles on many of its committees. He was the current President of the Board of Directors of the ACWA Joint Powers Insurance Authority, which provides liability, property, workers’ compensation, and health insurance to members of ACWA.
The Edward G. “Jerry” Gladbach Scholarship is awarded to one undergraduate student majoring in engineering, agricultural and/or urban water supply, environmental studies, public administration, or other water-resource-related fields.
All scholarship applications must be submitted online by March 1. For a complete list of qualification and eligibility requirements and a link to the online application system, visit ACWA’s scholarships page at www.acwa.com/about/scholarships.
