The Occupational Health and Safety Section will be awarding scholarships that include registration for the 2005 APHA Annual Meeting, (November 5 - 9, 2005, New Orleans, LA), a one-year membership in APHA and $300.00 for conference expenses. We hope to strengthen the participation of students and union representatives in APHA and our section. We recognize that we need the involvement of workers and new health & safety professionals to make our workplaces & communities healthy and safe.

AWARD:

The value of each award is $500.00. The Section will directly pay the annual meeting fee & one-year membership to APHA with primary membership in the Occupational Health & Safety Section. Each awardee will then receive $300.00 that can be used to cover transportation, lodging, and meals. Awardees will be responsible for providing the remainder of funds necessary to cover these expenses. At the Annual Meeting we will pair each awardee with a section member with similar interests.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
