WLP Scholarships

The WLP Scholarships are competitive scholarships to support participation in the International WaterCentre's Water Leadership Program. In 2026 the IWC is offering a mix of one full and several partial Water Leader Scholarships, including female-only and open-application scholarships. Scholarships aim to support gender equity and Indigenous water leadership in the water sector. The final number and value of scholarships awarded are at the discretion of IWC and depend on application quality.

1 x full Water Leader Scholarship (The Peta Mullin Inclusive Leadership Scholarship); 1 x partial Water Leader Scholarship for female-only application; 3 x partial Water Leader Scholarships for open application.

IWC welcomes applications from aspiring female and male Indigenous water leaders, whether working in community or institutional contexts.
