CSU SCHOLARSHIP

The CEHA Scholarship Endowment was created in 1986 by a $5,000 gift to the Colorado State University Foundation. A scholarship is awarded annually as funds permit to a CSU student working to gain further expertise in the Environmental Health Profession. A Scholarship and awards committee selects the successful candidate from the pool of applicants. Selection is based on student’s good standing in the Environmental Health program; participation in student, state, or national Environmental Health organizations; and financial need. Applicants must be an undergraduate Junior or Senior, or a graduate student.
