Rodney “Rod” Blaine Lewis was a pioneer whose accomplishments in resolving the water rights claims of Native Nations laid the foundation for advancing the position of Indigenous communities in today’s natural resource dialogues. In honor of his work, the Rodney Blaine Lewis Scholars Award was created to support graduate students at the University of Arizona who are enrolled members of an Arizona Indian Tribe, and who are enrolled in a program of study in water law, policy, or a closely related field. Students can find the Rodney Blaine Lewis Scholars Award at the UArizona Scholarship Universe website. Applications for the inaugural year of this award are being accepted until April 3, 2022. For more information on Rod Lewis, please visit WRRC’s conference dedication page.
