TWRI is committed to training the next generation of water resources scientists and engineers.

We have two water research scholarship programs, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Graduate Research Program and Mills Scholars Program, which provide $7,500 scholarships for graduate students to assist in conducting high priority water resources research in Texas.
