Spring and Summer 2008 Low Impact Development Course Scholarships

The University of Washington, in collaboration with the Puget Sound Partnership, is offering scholarships to select individuals to attend one of three Low Impact Development courses that will be offered in Seattle in the spring and summer of 2008.

The scholarships are part of the Puget Sound Initiative, the regional, cooperative effort to recover Puget Sound.

Scholarships will be given to up to 25 individuals who meet the following criteria:

1. Organization/ individual employment is located in the Puget Sound basin
2. Economic need of registrant's employer (government, non-profit, and tribal organizations), and
3. College or university student matriculated within an allied discipline (with priority given to engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture).

Each scholarship is worth $400. Scholarships will reduce the cost of the course for registrants from $550 to $150.

Each LID course is two days in length and consists of one classroom day and one field trip day. Course materials and lunch are included both days. The courses eligible for scholarships are:

1. Permeable Pavements (June 17-18, 2008)
2. Building Footprint LID Techniques (July 16-17, 2008)

To apply for one of these scholarships please download the Word application and email to Melissa Amrhein no later than April 15th, 2008.
