We are passionate about the importance of water education. We have joined efforts with groups like the Texas Water Foundation to help bring new opportunities to Texas classrooms and raise awareness about water conservation, protection and management. Now and in the future, Nestlé Waters North America, through our Ozarka brand, hopes to create new learning experiences for Texas students who share our dedication to preserving the environment.

“Every Drop Counts” Scholarship Fund
An annual statewide scholarship fund of $30,000 is awarded to Texas students who wish to pursue degrees in the Earth Sciences. The fund is divided into two groups: Local scholarships for high school seniors in school districts and statewide scholarships for any Texas resident pursuing higher education in the Earth Sciences at any accredited four-year college or university.

Local High School Seniors
The superintendents of the following Texas Independent School Districts will take nominations from teachers and select the “Every Drop Counts” recipient each school year. Scholarships are merit-based and intended for a qualified high school senior who plans to enroll in a four-year, not-for-profit, college or university program upon graduation.

Harmony Springs, Harmony ISD

Holly Springs, Hawkins ISD

Roher Springs, Eustace ISD

Moffitt Spring, Huntsville ISD

Statewide Scholarships
Ozarka Spring Water awards two $10,000 scholarships annually to qualified students who are currently enrolled or planning to enroll in a public or private, not-for-profit, four-year college or university program. Ozarka will accept applications from United States Citizens who are Texas residents with a minimum 3.0 Grade Point Average. In addition, students must write an essay about why they are currently pursuing a degree in the Earth Sciences, detailing courses of study.
