As a result of measures being taken due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SWSS Board of Directors has made the decision to cancel the SWSS Endowment Scholarship opportunity for 2020. Many companies and facilities have placed strict guidelines on visitors, carpooling, etc., and this essentially weakens the opportunity and the effectiveness of these internships. We do not make these decisions on a whim and careful consideration was taken to insure the safety and well-being of all members through abiding by proposed guidelines. Our plan moving forward will be to offer the scholarship opportunity in 2021 and detailed communication of that program will follow the 2021 SWSS Annual Meeting in Knoxville, TN.
