Scholarship Fund
The Association of Food and Drug Officials of the Southern
States (AFDOSS)
is a Regional Affiliate of the Associations of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).
AFDO is an international nonprofit organization of individuals concerned
with the development and enforcement of uniform food, drug, and other
consumer protection laws. Through resolutions, AFDOSS submits recommendations
to the international association for suggested actions needed in the
aforementioned areas. The end result is the development of
"model bills", the encouragement of training, and the overall
implementation of sound and effective consumer protection regulation.
In 1999, AFDOSS established an annual scholarship fund for
students entering their junior or senior year with monies being allocated
to such by the AFDOSS Executive Board, contributions of companies and
individuals, and grants obtained primarily from AFDO. The
scholarship is designed to be awarded to top students having demonstrated
a desire to serve in a career of research, regulatory work, quality
control, or teaching in an area related to some aspect of foods or
drugs. The recipient should have obvious leadership capabilities and
must have at least a 2.5 grade average during the first two years of undergraduate
study The scholarship will be awarded to the selected person to
attend a college or university that has curricula in the area of food
and/or drug.
