The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville have teamed up to create scholarships for the Environmental Resource Training Center (ERTC) of SIUE. MSD is offering a limited number of academic scholarships to minority candidates within the District’s service area.
The scholarship will provide $3,500 toward tuition and fees to attend the ERTC Water Quality Control Operations Program for the school year of 2016-2017. The ERTC program emphasizes practical training in drinking water and wastewater treatment. During the 11 month program students will get hands-on experience in labs and treatment shops as well as a work-study internship at a treatment plant and water facility.
MSD and SIUE will have an informational session from on Thursday April 21st, 2016 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM at MSD’s Administrative office located at 2350 Market Street in downtown St. Louis.
