Scholarship Opportunities

ICPF is proud to support the next generation of packaging professionals through the ICPF Scholarship Fund. These scholarship opportunities are intended to recognize students who display academic achievement, leadership skills, and an interest in pursuing a career in the corrugated packaging industry. Our faculty partners play a key role in curating these opportunities for students, so get in touch with us via email to discuss next steps about how to set up this opportunity for funding at your school/program. While ICPF will share eligibility guidelines for scholarship recipients, partnering schools can customize this opportunity to award up to $5,000 in funding to your student(s) per calendar year.
