Certificate of Merit Awards:
Criteria for nomination

Throughout the year, Affiliates are encouraged to nominate individuals for Certificate of Merit Awards. These awards are given to IAFP Members who have been active in both their Affiliate and the International Association for Food Protection, and have shown support of the ideals and objectives of the International Association. Nominations are voted on by the International Association's Executive Board. Recipients are recognized at the IAFP Affiliate Council Meeting and at the local Affiliate Meeting.

Affiliate Scholarships:

Many Affiliates recognize their student members through monetary scholarships, donations of books to student libraries and providing support to enable students to attend the International Association for Food Protection Annual Meeting. The Association currently has 14 Affiliates who offer 37 scholarships. The monetary value of these scholarships is in excess of $22,000 each year. The International Association encourages Affiliates to support students and encourage their development in the profession of food safety.
