CCOHS Dick Martin Scholarship Award

Students enrolled full- or part-time in an occupational health and safety certificate, diploma, or degree program at an accredited Canadian college or university may apply. Citizenship is not required, but enrolment must be at a Canadian school. Programs include mine safety, industrial hygiene, safety management, and related OHS fields. Previous Dick Martin or Chad Bradley winners, and CCOHS employees or their relatives, are not eligible.

Two awards of $3,000 are granted each year, one to a college student and one to a university student. Each winner's institution also receives $500.

Apply with a completed online application, a one-page cover letter on career aspirations in health and safety, and a 1,000- to 1,200-word anonymous essay on either a high-risk workplace hazard or an existing or emerging hazard and how to control it. The fund was established in memory of Dick Martin, a workplace health and safety advocate and CCOHS Governor.
