Award Requirements: Scholarship Activities
TAPPI Student Summit 2011 (students outside Domtar, Kingsport, TN)
To assist you in getting the most valuable and well-rounded exposure to the pulp and paper industry, the Paper Technology Foundation (PTF) and the Department of Chemical and Paper Engineering (PCI) have been busy developing some activities that will help you better realize the limitless career opportunities by interacting with your classmates, faculty and the industry’s leaders—your future employers.
The Paper and Allied Industry is providing scholarships to develop talented scientists and engineers to enter the field. Experience in the industry provides students with insight that is educational and professionally developmental. Consequently, scholarship awards require students to gain exposure to the industry early in their career.
The following criteria are required to ensure proper industry exposure: (NOTE: Year of study refers to the year of study in the paper engineering program.)
