To qualify for the $5,000 scholarship, female students must be studying engineering, packaging, pro- cessing, mechatronics or related fields, demonstrating leadership qualities and having a GPA of 3.0 or higher. “PMMI is proud to invest in women’s careers in the packaging and processing industry,” said Tracy Stout, Vice President, Marketing & Communications, PMMI. “PPWLN aims to empower women to grow and succeed as leaders in manufacturing, and the PPWLN scholarship will play a key role in helping us achieve this goal.” The PPWLN Scholarship is one of several scholarships awarded or administered by the PMMI Foundation each year, providing over $200,000 in funds for students. These scholarships underscore PMMI’s commitment to the future of the packaging and processing industry.
