PHTA announces that Periodic Products, Inc. will sponsor one of two scholarships this year.
The Greg Garrett Scholarship Award allows me and Greg’s other industry peers to continue sharing that passion. It means a lot to me, and to Greg’s industry peers, to be able to share that passion with the Greg Garrett Scholarship Award.

Dr. R. Neil Lowry Grant
This $5,000 grant is given in memory of Dr. Robert Neil Lowry. He was a longtime member of PHTA, the Recreational Water & Air Quality Committee, and a former president of the PHTA. It honors a public official or department that has made outstanding contributions in advancing the public’s safety and health in recreational pools, spas and waterparks.
Public health officials, as well as their organizations, play an important role in making sure that our pools, waterparks and other aquatic venues, are safe for everyone,” said Jody O’Grady. She is the Director of Customer Support at Taylor Water Technologies LLC, and Chair of RWAQC. The Lowry Grant allows our industry to recognize, honor and support these individuals’ dedication and commitment. Dr. Lowry, who passed away more than 10 years ago, would be happy to know that his grant is still making a positive difference in the community of recreational water safety.
The Lowry Grant is open to public health officials or departments who can describe their program and the benefits it brings, including the health and safety of the public, the impact on the results expected, and the use of grant funds. Nominations are due by Friday, September 8th.
