The Tracey G. Liberi Drinking Water Careers Memorial Scholarship is for undergraduate students currently enrolled in an institution of higher education (beyond high school) and entering sophomore, junior or senior year of college, or students currently enrolled in graduate school, vocational/technical or trade school. Tracey Liberi was an active AWWA member and a professional engineer at SUEZ Water for over 20 years. Tracey was especially dedicated to encouraging young women to work in the water industry and to pursue engineering as a career. AWWA NJ is proud to name this Scholarship in Tracey’s honor.

Junkui Cui’s recent work on ferrate, Emergency Water Treatment with Ferrate(VI) in Response to Natural Disasters, earned him the honor this year.
