General Information
The V. M. Ehlers Foundation, Inc.
was organized in 1959 to honor and memorialize Mr. Victor M. Ehlers,
who passed away on March 29, 1959 after a distinguished career in
the water utilities profession. Mr. Ehlers, or "Vic" as he was known
to his friends, was instrumental in the formation of what is now
the largest organization of its type in the world - the Texas Water
Utilities Association.
The Foundation operates as a Texas non-profit organization and
promotes its founding purposes by offering scholarship assistance
which will further the water related education of members - and
the sons and daughters of members - of the Texas Water Utilities
Association. Members - and the sons and daughters of members -
of the Texas Public Works Association, the Water Environment Association
of Texas and other organizations are also eligible for assistance
through Endowments organized within the V. M. Ehlers Foundation,
Inc.
Scholarship assistance is paid to recipients in two installments,
50% of the total awarded for the fall semester and 50% for the
spring semester. All recipients are required to provide the Foundation
a copy of their official transcript for the fall semester in order
to receive payment for the spring semester.
Additional Endowments may be formed, with the approval of the
Board of Trustees, and may be named according to the wishes of
the donor or Sponsoring Organization. Several have been formed
to honor and recognize someone - either one who is alive or who
has passed-away - for their contributions to the water utilities
profession or some particular water related organization.
