Student stipends available for World of Coal Ash

News | January 16, 2026 | By:

Know of a student interested in a career in coal ash? Make sure they know about the World of Coal Ash 2026’s Student Travel Stipend program. WOCA is May 4-7, 2026, in Lexington, Ky.

This program was rolled out at WOCA 2024, with great success! It was designed specifically with students in mind. Thanks to support from generous sponsors, the WOCA Student Travel Stipend program brings the coal ash workforce of tomorrow to the best coal ash conference in the world.

If your company is interested in supporting this program, please contact Alyssa Barto at alyssa.barto@acaa-usa.org.

If you know of a student interested in attending WOCA 2026 but doesn’t necessarily have the funding to pull it off, make sure they apply to the Student Travel Stipend program.
