The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) is now accepting applications for the 2020 Dick Martin Scholarship Award.

The CCOHS Council of Governors established this scholarship fund in 2002 in the memory of Dick Martin, a tireless health and safety advocate and a pioneer of workplace health and safety in Canada.

Awarded annually, this $3,000 national scholarship is available to any student enrolled, either full-time or part-time, in occupational health and safety-related course or program leading to an occupational health and safety certificate, diploma or degree at an accredited college or university in Canada.

“Every year, we look forward to supporting and generating interest in the occupational health and safety field by offering these scholarships to passionate and deserving students across Canada,” said Anne Tennier, president and chief executive officer at  CCOHS. “We are excited to see what the future holds for this next generation of health and safety advocates and I offer the best of luck to all who apply.”
