Scholarships

The NJPEC has awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships in less than 60 years!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, NJPEC stayed committed to our cause of awarding scholarships. While we were not able to award individual scholarships in 2020 and 2021 we were able to offer donations to notable packaging schools. In 2020, NJPEC donated $5,000 to the Rutgers School of Packaging Engineering which was used purchase a piece of equipment for their student's packaging lab. In 2021, NJPEC donated $2,500 to the Rutgers School of Packaging and $2,500 to Michigan State Packaging School.

NJPEC is thrilled to have award numerous individual scholarships for the 2022-23 school year totaling $40,000. Congratulations to our winners!

Our 2023-2024 scholarship applications are now available for submission, see below.

If you have any questions about the scholarships or submission procedures, please contact the Scholarship Chair, Steve Chapman at scholarship@njpec.com
