Description

Believing strongly that today's students are tomorrow's leaders, the Foundation endowed the William L. Cullison Scholarship fund in honor of TAPPI's fifth Executive Director, an extraordinary industry leader. This scholarship provides support for students to pursue an academic path related to a career in the pulp, paper, corrugated and converting industries. Candidates must have a major in a pulp and paper science course of study at a college or university. Many of these colleges and universities sponsor a TAPPI Student Chapter. Candidates must also demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities; and demonstrate significant interest in the pulp and paper industry which could include listing previous, current or future industry internships. Financial need is not a requirement for eligibility. At least three letters of recommendation are required. They must be from persons familiar with the candidate's character, accomplishments, likelihood of success, and/or industry work experience, and at least one recommendation letter must be written by an educator. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry for more information.
