The James P. Keogh Memorial Scholarship Fund established in 1999 honors the enormous contribution Dr. James (Jim) Keogh made to occupational health and safety. Jim was an outstanding colleague and generous mentor and teacher who nurtured and influenced the work of many others.

The scholarship fund helps the Occupational Health and Safety Section promote and 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. Scholarship awardees are provided with the Annual Meeting registration fee, a one-year student/community member membership and a $300 stipend for conference-related expenses.

The scholarship fund needs the support of all members of the Occupational Health and Safety Section.  Please be generous in your tax-deductible contribution to the James P. Keogh Memorial Scholarship Fund. Checks should be made out to APHA-Jim Keogh Scholarship. Please include “Account # 328066-OHS Section” on the check. Send your contributions to APHA Attn. Natasha Williams, 800 I Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001.
