A range of scholarships are awarded annually to high-calibre candidates who clearly demonstrate potential as future water leaders. Scholarships are available to both international and domestic students. There are two IWC-Ken Thiess Scholarships available annually, targeted at international candidates who meet the minimum eligibility requirements, hold citizenship and currently live in one of the priority countries. These countries include the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. One of these scholarships will be reserved and awarded to a female candidate.
