Local Section Scholarship
2700 Prosperity Avenue
Suite 250
Fairfax, VA 22031
Dear Mr.
Downs
The Michigan
Industrial Hygiene Society, the first local section of the
American Industrial Hygiene Association, would like to create
a "Named Endowed Scholarship". We would like to
call this scholarship:
"The Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society Merit Scholarship".
We would
like the following criteria applied to the scholarship:
The scholarship
shall be awarded to Michigan residents, studying industrial
hygiene, attending either Wayne State University in Detroit
Michigan, or The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan.
We reserve the right to expand the number universities included
in this list should the amount of the endowment be capable
of supporting a broader scope, or the number of universities
that qualify for an AIHF scholarship increases.
Enclosed
with this letter are checks or pledges to complete the endowment
totaling $25,000.00. Details for this amount are as follows:
The Foundation
should have already received a $5000.00 check in the name
of the Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society scholarship endowment
fund from Patricia Brogan, PhD.
Mr. Roger
Wabeke has donated $5000.00 to this endowment fund. His check
was made out to the Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society. Our
Treasurer has cashed this check and this amount is incorporated
into the MIHS check to the Foundation.
The Foundation
should very shortly receive a $2500.00 check from the Hawaii
Local Section that is directed to the Michigan Industrial
Hygiene Society scholarship endowment fund. This is a donation
to our scholarship endowment fund from Steve Levine, PhD.
A check
to the American Industrial Hygiene Foundation from Sarunas
Mingela that is to be directed to the Michigan Industrial
Hygiene Society endowment fund.
A check
from the Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society for $16,500.00
that includes the previously mentioned $5000.00 from Mr. Wabeke
and completes the endowment.
Should
you have any questions, please contact me at 313.805.7996.

Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society
AIHF Letter
Regarding the
"Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society Merit Scholarship"
(Received via email.)
Sharkey, thank
you and the Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society for your decision
to establish a permanent scholarship fund for students at
Wayne State or Univ. of Michigan in the name of the Society.
The name of the scholarship will be, "Michigan Industrial
Hygiene Society Merit Scholarship". While a number of
local sections of AIHA have been very supportive and have
provided funding for scholarships on an annual basis, the
MIHS is the FIRST local section to fund a permanently endowed
scholarship. And, because of the timing, we have included
the scholarship in our application announcements just sent
out, so the first scholarship award will be announced at the
AIHCE next May! We appreciate the contributions from all the
individuals and the overall Society membership that made this
scholarship happen. This will make a big difference in the
lives of many students over the years, and helps the Foundation
in its mission to ensure the future of industrial hygiene
through financial support to IH students. Thanks to you, and
all the members of the Michigan Industrial Hygiene Society,
for your generous support!
David E. Downs,
