Community Scholarships - Paper Excellence Group

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.
