Three Cal Poly students were awarded the Water Users’ Conference Scholarship at the 57th Annual Mid-Pacific Water Users’ Conference (WUC) on Jan. 31. Bioresource and agricultural engineering students Emma Schmitt, Brandon Forgie and Samantha Albiani were honored at the conference.

The scholarship is available to students pursuing fields of study in the BioResource and Agricultural Engineering Department and the Irrigation Training and Research Center at Cal Poly. Recipients are selected based on GPA, leadership, and merit, and the scholarship includes a $3,000 award for second-year students, with the potential for two subsequent $1,500 scholarships if a 3.0 GPA is maintained.

Along with the three scholarship recipients, BRAE students Reagan Denny and Paul Horta presented their research posters at the conference.
