2019 was another good year for students who received awards from the American Society of Sanitary Engineering Scholarship Fund. This year, the fund was able to award 10 scholarships. These awards are only possible through the continued support of ASSE International chapters and sponsors. InSinkErator sponsored another scholarship this year, along with PJF Plumbing & Heating, Inc. (Patrick Flader) and the Illinois, Michigan, Northern Ohio, and Pennsylvania Chapters of ASSE International.

Since its inception by the Ladies Auxiliary, over 184 scholarships have been awarded totaling $468,550. This program has been a huge success because of the support of many of ASSE International’s members.
