Scholarship Program History

Since 1999, Leucadia Wastewater District has awarded local graduating high school seniors with $1,000 scholarships. Each spring, the District selects two winners and invites them to participate in a public award ceremony during a regular District board meeting.

The Leucadia Wastewater District scholarship program supports local youth and shows the importance of water recycling and effective wastewater treatment in protecting public health and the environment.

Carlsbad and Encinitas high school seniors in the service area may participate. Contestants are judged on the quality of their applications, including an essay on wastewater treatment, community service, and academic achievement. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is also required.
