The Joe M. Steele & Hardy W. Croxton Memorial Scholarship is funded by Beaver Water District Board Members and provides support to students in the University of Arkansas College of Engineering and Bumpers College. Beaver Water District Board Members donate board meeting attendance fees to the scholarship fund that is managed by the University of Arkansas Foundation. Scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated interest in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, environmental or life sciences.
