In 2006, the Tubbs family established a scholarship to provide an annual award to up to two individuals pursuing education in the field of respiratory health services, and who has his/her permanent address within 100 kilometres of Red Deer.  Recognizing and understanding the significant role of respiratory health professionals, the Tubbs family has established this scholarship to benefit both current and aspiring respiratory health service professionals.

 

Each year the James Bradley Tubbs Memorial Scholarship is awarded to up to two individuals pursuing a career in respiratory health services or to an individual currently employed and pursuing advanced education in respiratory health services in the Red Deer area. The scholarship may be withheld if a suitable candidate is not identified.  Successful applicants will receive the $2,000 award toward:

• Clinical certification program in respiratory health

• An accredited respiratory therapy program

 

Eligibility:
