Applications for the James P. Keogh
Memorial Scholarship Awards
The Occupational Health and
Safety Section will be awarding another round of scholarships covering
registration for the 2006 APHA Annual Meeting in Boston (November 4 -8), a one-year
APHA membership and $300.00 for conference-related expenses. Last year we had
outstanding winners who participated in the conference, our section meetings
and special events, and a special session on bringing students into the field.
Both the students and their section mentors reported a very positive
experience.
The scholarship program's goal
is to strengthen the participation of students and union representatives
in APHA. We recognize that we need the involvement of workers and new health
and safety professionals to make our workplaces and communities healthy and
safe.
Please copy and distribute the
attached student application to interested students and encourage them to apply
for the scholarship. (See the application for eligibility requirements.)
Union Representatives:
This year, we are asking Section members to apply on behalf of a Union
representative who has been active in health and safety. We would like to give
scholarships to local union officers, health and safety committee members, shop
stewards, district-level officers and representatives. These awards are NOT
intended for international union health and safety staff. Instructions are
described on the application form.
All applications must be
submitted by July 31, 2006. If you have any questions contact Karen B.
