World of Coal Ash 2026 calls for students

The World of Coal Ash is inviting students to attend its 2026 show, May 4-7, 2026, in Lexington, Ky.

Whether students are looking to present some research or scholarly work via an oral or poster presentation or looking to network to seek out a job opportunity, WOCA is home to all the decision makers in the business. If you know of any students in your network, share this message with them. Encourage them to take part in WOCA 2026. Help us create the new pipeline of coal ash professionals.

Thanks to support from generous sponsors, WOCA is bringing back the Student Travel Stipend program in 2026. Interested students can apply at https://worldofcoalash.org/student-sponsorship/.  

The WOCA Student Travel Stipend is sponsored by ACAA Educational Foundation and the Midwest Coal Ash Association. If your company is interested in supporting this program, contact Alyssa Barto at alyssa.barto@acaa-usa.org.
