Sharps Compliance College Scholarship Program Updates

Sharps Compliance believes in education and supporting the youth of the country as they pursue careers in the healthcare industry. We understand the financial challenges they face. Through our essay scholarship program, we award three winners twice a year (Spring and Fall) as our contribution to helping students with college expenses.

Each scholarship competition has its own essay topic that encourages students to dig deep and research critical issues in the field of medical waste handling and disposal. They represent the next generation of healthcare workers who will be on the front lines helping to protect patients, the public, and the environment from improper waste and medication disposal. We believe that these topics encourage students to look more closely at hazardous waste disposal and take the issue seriously.

Recent essay topics include:

  • Discuss how healthcare organizations can help increase the amount of clean renewable energy generated when medical waste is converted into clean electrical power.
  • Explain why the recent EPA rule that “eliminates the intentional sewering of Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals (HWP)” is so important to the effort to keep pharmaceutical waste out of the water supply.
  • Describe how the recycling of single-use medical devices can contribute to healthier communities through reduced pollution and reduction of raw material use in manufacturing.

The articles below tell more about the program, announce past winners, and explain what you need to do to apply.
