Students living in California Water Service Group’s (Group) California, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Washington service areas can now apply for the company’s 13th annual Scholarship Program. Up to $80,000 in scholarship funds are available to help offset the cost of post-secondary education.
To be eligible for one of four $10,000 grand-prize scholarships or additional scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, applicants must plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate study program at an accredited college, university, or vocational-technical school for the 2026-2027 academic year. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic achievement, community service, and financial need.
“As we kick off our 100th year of service to our customers, we are pleased to again offer scholarships to lessen the financial barriers that can deter students from pursuing their dreams,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This program is part of our commitment to customers, and one that we hope will make a meaningful impact for years to come.”
To learn more about the scholarship program or to apply, students should visit scholarshipamerica.org/scholarship/cawater. The application period will close on Thursday, March 26, 2026. Winners will be announced in late May.
Group’s Scholarship Program is part of the company’s stockholder-funded philanthropic giving program and does not affect customers’ rates. The program is administered by Scholarship America, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. To date, Group has provided $839,000 in scholarships to students through the program.
