Empire State TAPPI Donation Creates P&P Technology Scholarship at Québec College

The College Foundation of Trois-Rivières, (Québec, Canada) this week announced a new scholarship program for students at Cégep de Trois-Rivières who have registered for the first time in its Pulp and Paper Technology program. The Empire State Chapter of TAPPI provided entry funding for the scholarship with a $15,000 donation.

Establishment of the scholarship fund, to be known as the TAPPI Fund, will ensure ongoing support to help generations of students to come, the Foundation notes. To allow immediate implementation, the Foundation has set aside an amount of the TAPPI donation for scholarship distribution in its first year. Beginning this year, the TAPPI Fund will award two annual scholarships of $500 each.

Award criteria and application procedures for the TAPPI Fund will be announced in the coming weeks.
