Abstract: These instructions and forms will be used by scholarship applicants to provide information to the U.S. Department of Education that is needed to select recipients for the Erma Byrd Scholarship Program. Title III of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 authorizes the Secretary to award scholarships to individuals pursuing a course of study that will lead to a career in industrial health and safety occupations, including mine safety. Under the Erma Byrd Scholarship Program, individual students apply for scholarships. In order to judge all applications in a consistent manner and to reduce the time required for the review process, it is necessary to collect the appropriate information from all individual applicants by means of a uniform application form.
