The mission of the American Industrial Hygiene Foundation (AIHF) is to advance the profession by awarding scholarships for students in industrial hygiene and related disciplines.
Since 1982, AIHF has distributed more than $1,077,000 to more than 45 different schools and universities and 397 students. These scholarships have enabled talented students to complete their education and have encouraged the most promising scholars to enter or remain in the industrial hygiene profession.
Administration of AIHF is conducted through its Board of Trustees, who are elected members and serve on a volunteer basis only. Additionally, staff members of the American Industrial Hygiene Foundation are compensated through a gift-in-kind donation from the American Industrial Hygiene Association.
The AIHF is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Financial investments and contributions to the AIHF are tax-deductible, as provided by law.
