Twenty-eight students received $132,000 in spring scholarships from the PMMI Foundation, which supports the next generation workforce. Each year, the PMMI Foundation provides more than $200,000 in academic scholarships to students studying packaging, food processing, engineering, and mechatronics at over 50 PMMI Education Partner programs throughout the U.S. and Canada.
“These students represent the great potential of the next generation workforce to transform the packaging and processing industry,” says Kate Fiorianti, senior manager, workforce development, PMMI. “The application criteria, which includes notable industry involvement, means we are recognizing the best and brightest and giving them resources to transfer academic success into professional excellence.”
