AIHF Awards 2017 Scholarships

The scholarship winners will be recognized June 7 during the Mark of Excellence Breakfast at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition (AIHce EXP) in Seattle.

Fifty-one students are receiving scholarships this year from the American Industrial Hygiene Foundation (AIHF), which is awarding a total of $131,800 in scholarships this time. AIHF's Board of Trustees selected the recipients, all of whom distinguished themselves through their commitment to their studies, their communities, and the profession of industrial hygiene.

"We must prepare and encourage the next generation of industrial hygienists," said AIHF Board of Trustees President Steven E. Lacey, Ph.D., CIH, CSP. "We are competing with other science and engineering disciplines for the next generation of professionals and we want the best and brightest with us, protecting worker health. I want to congratulate these scholarship winners on their hard work, to encourage even more students to apply next year, and to thank all of the donors who made this possible. Be sure to congratulate these students in Seattle."

The scholarship winners will be recognized June 7 during the Mark of Excellence Breakfast at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition (AIHce EXP) in Seattle.
