In recognition of Water Professionals Month this August, Natchaya “Jade” Luangphairin received two scholarships honoring her academic achievements and commitment to the water industry. Jade received the Women of Water (WoW) Scholarship from the Florida Rural Water Association (FRWA), in partnership with SediVision. The scholarship supports talented and dedicated women pursuing careers in water, wastewater, and environmental engineering fields.
Jade was also awarded the Thomas Rawls Scholarship at the DBIA Florida Region Gulf Coast Owner’s Roundtable event. Established by the Gulf Coast Chapter of the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) Florida Region to recognize and support students’ professional growth, the scholarship will advance Jade’s knowledge of design-build practices and prepare her for a successful career in the design and construction industry.
