Investing in education and community development is a key focus area for Paper Excellence. Our scholarships are part of our commitment to generate positive impacts long term in the communities where we operate.
The community scholarship program is designed to aid with the financial needs of high school graduates entering their first year at a public university, community college or institute of technology. Our scholarships vary in value from $250 – $1,500 depending on the mill site.
Eligibility
The applicant must be planning to become a full-time student at a technical institute, community college or accredited public university, following high school graduation and receipt of the award. Deferment of one academic year is permitted where the applicant is participating in a recognized Grade 12 student exchange program.
