“IoPP is proud to recognize the packaging industry’s future young professionals,” says Jane Chase, IoPP Immediate Past Chair. “The IoPP scholarship program paves the way for the next step, a mentoring program that fosters the career development process and connects tomorrow’s leaders with those of today.”
The scholarships have been created to support packaging education and to raise awareness of packaging as a career choice. The scholarships are funded by founding supporters, including the Central Ohio, Chicago, Minnesota, Missouri Gateway and Tejas IoPP chapters and IoPP benefactor companies.
As an added bonus, the top talent identified through this program will be shared with IoPP Benefactor companies as a recruiting tool for their organizations. This could be that post-graduation foot in the door that jump-starts your career.
Candidates must be students in their Junior or Senior year, pursuing a degree at an accredited college, university or vocational/technical school in a course of study relevant to a career in the packaging industry.
Winners will be recognized during the IoPP AmeriStar and IoPP Honors & Awards Dinner on May 22 at the Marriot Chicago O'Hare, Chicago, IL.
The IoPP Missouri Gateway Chapter presented a $1,000 check in support of the program during the Awards event.
