H. Thompson Price Scholarship

This award, if given, will be announced at the CASA Awards Banquet during CASA’s annual conference. The award is given to commemorate the life and service of H. Thompson Price, Jr., a dedicated servant to American consumers for more than twenty-five years. Through his innovative ideas, tireless work, and enthusiastic encouragement many food and drug regulatory officials and industry officials developed training programs and work sharing agreements that promoted more effective and efficient consumer protection programs.

The criteria for this award reflects the love and dedication that Tom Price had for CASA and for every person that belonged to CASA or supported its goals and objectives. This award stands not only as a tribute to Tom Price, but as a reminder that CASA must always bring new members into its ranks and must always support and encourage the training and development of people. It is a symbol that the role of CASA will not only live on, but that its role will expand and grow.
