SA Water will support 24 scholarships with students from the University of 新浪彩票 this year and give some the opportunity to receive paid work experience. The 24 scholarships include 13 new scholarships for 2009. The scholarship program will support students studying in the fields of engineering, business, economics, commerce and accounting. It also supports female and indigenous students, as well as some students in financial need. "We welcome SA Water's scholarship support, which is exactly what students - and the State - need," said the University's Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor James McWha. "Today's students are tomorrow's leaders and innovators. Not only will SA Water's support be greatly appreciated by our talented and deserving students, it will directly contribute to creating a better future for all of us," he said. SA Water Chief Executive Anne Howe said SA Water was proud of the strong scholarship program it had established, which now provides more educational opportunities to young South Australians. "The SA Water Scholarship Program has been developed to assist in ensuring that SA Water, the water industry and business in general is provided with high achieving individuals in the areas of engineering, business, science and Information Technology," Ms Howe said. "Recipients of the scholarships will be invited to attend various SA Water graduate events and are encouraged to interact with graduates who are currently on the SA Water Graduate Program. "By establishing relationships with recipients and identifying high achieving students with a passion for the water industry early on, we hope to foster these relationships and secure top talent throughout the graduate recruitment cycle, with the intention of encouraging students to apply for SA Water's Graduate Program at the completion of their degree." Ms Howe said the SA Water Scholarship Program complemented all existing recruitment program initiatives, including traineeships and apprenticeships, and indigenous, graduate and vocational work experience programs.
