The WATer Engineering Research Scholars (WATER Scholars) program is supporting financially needy students who exhibit academic promise and interest in water-related research. Recruitment efforts are targeting students from underrepresented groups from a variety of undergraduate engineering programs. Each scholar is being supported for two years while earning a master's degree from the Department of Civil Engineering or the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering. To ensure scholars' success and eventual graduation, the project is providing writing workshops, professional development seminars, industry field trips, and mentoring of scholars by faculty and senior graduate students. The goals of the project are to increase the quality, quantity and diversity of the engineering workforce, with particular emphasis on building workforce expertise in water-related areas.

水工程研究学者（WATer Scholars）计划支持经济困难的学生，他们在与水相关的研究中表现出学术前景和兴趣。招聘的目标是来自各种本科工程专业中代表性不足的群体的学生。每位学者在获得土木工程系或生物与农业工程系硕士学位期间获得两年资助。为了确保学者的成功和最终毕业，该项目提供了写作研讨会、专业发展研讨会、行业实地考察以及教师和高级研究生对学者的指导。该项目的目标是提高工程劳动力的质量、数量和多样性，特别强调在水相关领域建立劳动力专业知识。
