Welcome to the Dr. John H. Frick Memorial IHMM Scholarship

The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management is pleased to have created $32,000 in academic scholarships, divided equally between $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student CHMMs, and $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student ASHMs. IHMM has named this scholarship the Dr. John H. Frick Memorial IHMM Scholarship in honor of one of the principal founders of IHMM who passed away in 2023.

IHMM seeks to foster the growth and academic success of students whose courses of education, and participation in one of our Student certifications, will lead to those students becoming fully-certified IHMM credential holders later in their professional lives.

Applications must be submitted no later than October 18, 2024.

Carol is the manager of safety and industrial hygiene at University at Buffalo’s Environment, Health and Safety Services.

Also, Carol is a two-time recipient of the Chapter’s Safety Professional of the Year award, being honored in 1992 and 2016. She recently concluded her service to the Chapter’s Executive Committee at the end of 2023.

Carol has served the ASSP nationally in many ways. She recently stepped down as the standards chair for the Industrial Hygiene Practice Specialty group. Carol has presented at several annual ASSP Safety Conferences, which draws attendees nationally and internationally.
