University Program
Hobart Water offers numerous opportunities to university undergraduates and -graduates. The program ranges from financial assistance, information and work experience through to a formal scholarship.
Steve Balcombe Scholarship
Since 2000 Hobart Water has offered support - through the Steve Balcombe Scholarship - to talented Tasmanian students undertaking either an Engineering or Science degree.
The scholarship offers students financial support and paid work experience to undergraduates throughout their degree. The scholarship is in honour of Hobart Water's former chair, Mr Steve Balcombe.
Mr Balcombe was an engineering graduate of UTAS, and had a distinguished career in both public and private sectors in Tasmania before his premature death in March 2001. He played a key role in the development of many Tasmanian industries including forestry, agriculture and paper-making and was the inaugural chair of Hobart Water.
Past winners of the scholarship have been engineering and environmental science students and some have gone on to work at Hobart Water after graduating.
