WEHA Scholarships

For each of the past 30 years, the Wisconsin Environmental Health Association has given a scholarship to a student in the field of environmental health. WEHA believes one method to improve the field of environmental and public health is to invest in the future professionals. To strengthen the field of environmental and public health and to further expand the association’s support for education activities, an additional scholarship was created in 1999. WEHA feels very strongly about the scholarship program and has established an endowment fund in order to perpetuate it.

Currently, two scholarships are given out once a year at the Annual Educational Conference.

The WEHA Academic Scholarship ($1,000) is offered to an individual enrolled in a degree-granting program.
The Robert R. Nelson/WEHA Environmental Health Scholarship ($1,000) was developed to recognize a full-time junior or senior student at the University of Eau Claire for outstanding academic achievement, dedication and commitment as a student in the field of environmental and public health.
