Thousands of Dollars in Scholarships Available to Students in Occupational Safety and Health Fields
Undergraduate and graduate university students are eligible; deadline to apply is Feb. 28
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 13, 2015) – The Kentucky Safety and Health Network (KSHN) announced today that a total of approximately $40,000 worth in scholarship awards will be accessible to Kentucky undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a degree program for occupational safety and health, industrial hygiene or a related field. Applications for the Scholastic Achievement for Education (SAFE) awards must be submitted by Feb. 28.
“The SAFE scholarships are designed to help students succeed in careers that improve safety and health in the workplace,” said KSHN President Mike Sutt. “The KSHN includes members from the fields of business, education, government and labor in Kentucky, and we all understand the importance of encouraging careers in these fields. Safety and health in the workplace is something that benefits us all, including workers, employers and consumers.”
The KSHN is a nonprofit organization with a mission to increase awareness of safety and health in Kentucky’s workplaces. Membership is open to all individuals with an interest in occupational safety and health.
Funding for the SAFE scholarships comes from registration and sponsorships with the Governor’s Safety and Health Conference and Exposition, an annual event the KSHN co-hosts with the Kentucky Labor Cabinet. The conference brings together safety managers and health professionals from all over Kentucky. The 31st annual conference is set for May 5-8, 2015 at the Galt House in Louisville.
Applicants for the SAFE scholarships can be students at a Kentucky college or university, or they can be Kentucky residents attending an out-of-state institution. Undergraduate students must have completed at least 60 semester hours, be carrying at least 12 semester hours and have a minimum 3.0 grade point average. Graduate students must be enrolled full-time, have at least nine semester hours and a minimum 3.5 grade point average.
Applicants must complete an application form, which can be found on www.kshn.net, include a current resume, two letters of academic recommendation relative to the degree program, a letter from the department chair or faculty advisor attesting to the applicant’s admission into one of the related degree programs, an original essay which describes the applicant’s career goals and certified transcripts for all institutions attended and coursework completed.
