Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate excellence in master’s and doctoral research related to solid waste. Awards include a stipend that may be renewed each year based on satisfactory progress toward the degree and continued engagement in solid waste research. During their scholarship period, students work on projects that advance understanding of key issues in the field. EREF staff will work with scholars to integrate them into industry events such as conferences and fundraisers and facilitate visits to companies in the industry.
