Graphic Packaging International (GPI) has established a new $350,000 scholarship endowment at Western Michigan University (WMU) to support students pursuing paper engineering degrees.
This builds on GPI's previous contributions, including funding for an endowed professorship. The investment strengthens WMU's Paper Engineering program, one of the few in the U.S., and demonstrates GPI's commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in sustainable packaging.
The partnership benefits students, the university, and the paper and packaging industries by ensuring a pipeline of skilled professionals and advancing eco-friendly materials development.
WMU has expressed gratitude for GPI's generous support, which reinforces the connection between academia and industry in this specialized field.
Graphic Packaging designs and produces consumer packaging made primarily from renewable or recycled materials.
