New London student receives national scholarship

New London resident Ella Francis is one of 16 students being awarded a scholarship for academic achievement, community service and leadership by the Goulds Water Technology Professional Dealer's Association (GPDA). The scholarship is open to students in the U.S. and Canada.

'These students represent the future of our industry. Goulds Water Technology values the opportunity to support them as they pursue higher education and build their careers through the GPDA scholarship,” said Susan O'Grady, Xylem Director of Marketing, Residential and Agriculture.

GPDA scholarship recipients are family members of GPDA members. GPDA is a network of independent water system professionals, established in 1969, and is the industry's oldest and largest dealers association. Since the scholarship's inception, the GPDA has awarded over $300,000 to 272 recipients.
