what is a special district?

Special Districts govern everything from water to fire, but many people have never heard of them. This scholarship asks you to research and write a brief paper on California Special Districts. Your paper may describe the purpose of Special District is, its role in our economy, how a Special District governs, or any aspect of Special Districts that interests you.

Each member agency of the San Diego Chapter of CSDA may select one applicant to be considered by the CSDA Scholarship Committee. You may submit your application through Sweetwater Authority, a Special District that provides public water service to your home or school.

Sweetwater Authority will review applications received by the deadline and will nominate one student to the CSDA's Chapter Scholarship Committee. The winners will be selected by a panel of CSDA judges and will receive their awards at the CSDA Quarterly Dinner Meeting on May 17, 2007.

To receive an application and more information on Special Districts, call (619) 409-6722.
