SWANA Ontario Scholarships

SWANA Ontario is proud to offer a variety of scholarships, with the assistance of dedicated partners, to students who are studying in disciplines related to solid waste or environmental protection.

Scholarships are awarded to students who are concentrating on improving and understanding waste practices and systems, with a focus on progressive and sustainable management.

Dillon Consulting Limited Scholarship

The scholarship is to assist and encourage full time students in Canada working towards an undergraduate or post-graduate degree which may lead to a future career in solid waste, recycling or sustainable resource management.
