WASHINGTON, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Safety Council, in partnership with Boeing, has awarded 50 recipients the 2025 Advanced Safety Certificate® (ASC) Scholarship for Veterans. The scholarship program supports U.S. veterans demonstrating a commitment to protecting others as they pursue professional careers in environmental, health and safety (EHS).

"NSC is thrilled to help these future safety leaders take the next step on their professional journeys," said Lorraine Martin, NSC president and CEO. "With Boeing's support, the 50 veterans awarded these scholarships will continue to serve their nation by living out the NSC mission of saving lives, from the workplace to anyplace."
