根据包装和加工技术协会PMMI的说法，22名学生获得了Claude S. Breeden，Glenn Davis和Art Schaefer纪念馆的PMMI奖学金的$ 4,000奖学金。
PMMIhas more than doubled its annual academic scholarship funds to $90,000 to reward students at two-year partner schools. To qualify for the scholarship, students are required to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and plans for a career in packaging and processing machinery manufacturing, as well as a record of past awards and recognition and industry involvement through internship and career development opportunities.
PMMI教育经理Kate Fiorianti说：“我们将这些奖学金授予为期两年的学生，以通过发展合格的新兴劳动力来促进技术学校在缩小制造技能差距方面的价值。”“这两年的学校负担得起，使许多人都可以接受尖端的技术培训，同时通过实习和学徒机会提供了更大的灵活性。”
Overall, the PMMI Foundation provides over $150,000 in academic scholarships each year to students studying packaging, food processing, engineering and mechatronics at over 40 partner schools throughout the U.S. and Canada. Since the scholarship program’s establishment, the PMMI Foundation has given over $2 million to students pursuing careers in the packaging and processing industries. Funds are raised through events like the PMMI Foundation Golf Tournament, the Amazing Packaging Race and the brand-new CareerLink @ PACK EXPO networking and interview event held this year at PACK EXPO International and the co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Oct. 14-17, Chicago).
