The World Plumbing Council (WPC) is accepting applications for the 2013 WPC Education and Training Scholarship from anyone in the plumbing industry who is involved in industry training. The successful applicant could receive up to $10,000 US in funding for travel abroad to expand their knowledge of plumbing training.

“The scholarship is intended to provide an educational exchange between countries that focuses on plumbing industry training, and at the same time exposes the participant to new technologies and innovations in training systems,” said Russ Chaney, chairman of the World Plumbing Council.

“The scholarship also provides an opportunity to increase global awareness of the contribution that plumbing has made to global health and the environment.” Applications are being accepted until July 31. www.worldplumbing.org
