The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Foundation created its Family Scholarship Fund five years ago, providing educational scholarships to spouses and children to help reduce the financial impact of a loved one not returning home from work. The ASSP Foundation recently awarded $10,000 scholarships to Lindsey Pinkerton of Crete, Nebraska, and Samantha Wooten of Belmont, New Hampshire.
“We want to encourage people to continue their plans of earning a strong education following a devastating workplace incident involving a family member,” said ASSP Foundation Chair Dave Crowley, CSP, CHMM, STS. “Life understandably gets derailed during such difficult times, and we are committed to helping where we can.”
