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

The Keogh Scholarship Fund helps the OHS Section to promote and strengthen the participation of students and union representatives in APHA.  Scholarship awardees are provided with the Annual Meeting registration fee, a one-year student membership and a $300 stipend for conference-related expenses.  With your generous support, the Keogh Scholarship Fund enabled five students to attend last year's APHA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

In order to sustain this effort we need continued support from all OHS members.  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.  For more information, contact Karen B. Mulloy, chair, Scholarship Committee, Karen.Mulloy@dhha.org.
