Each year, a number of scholarships are awarded to students pursuing a degree in Packaging. The following section describes scholarships that are available in most years.
School of Packaging Incoming Student Scholarship
Incoming Freshmen and transfer students who plan to matriculate
in a Fall semester at Michigan State University and major in
Packaging are eligible for this scholarship. Applications are
sent to prospective students after they are admitted to MSU.
Paul L. and Joanne L. Peoples Scholarship
This scholarship is offered to a student returning to higher
education for a Bachelor's degree. To be
eligible, students must be admitted to a Packaging degree program
and must complete the general scholarship application and be
in good academic standing at the time the award is activated.
The beginning or continuing of education after a delay
of any kind may constitute eligibility for this scholarship.
School of
Packaging General Scholarship Application (PDF
format)
Current Packaging students can submit the general application
form. It confers eligibility for a number of scholarships that
are funded by packaging companies and organizations. The form
must be completed each Fall or Spring semester for the student
to be eligible for scholarships that are awarded during that
academic year.
Additional Scholarship Opportunities
Occasionally, during the academic year, other scholarship opportunities
are made available to students majoring in Packaging at Michigan
State University. These opportunities may require a different
application or some information to supplement the general scholarship
application. Announcements of these scholarship opportunities
are sent to all eligible students by e-mail and the information
is posted on the scholarship bulletin board, located near Room
115 Packaging Building. Additional information and applications
can also be obtained by contacting Jane Crowner (see information
below).
Obligations of a Recipient
Students who are selected to receive a scholarship are notified
by mail. They receive a Scholarship Acceptance Form which must
be completed, signed and returned to the Scholarship Coordinator.
The form asks the student to certify current enrollment in Packaging
and states that the award will be withdrawn if the student changes
his/her major. The student is also given information about the
organization which funded the award and is directed to send
a "Thank You" letter to a specified contact person with a copy
to the Packaging Scholarship Coordinator. After the form and
the copy of the letter are received, the funds are released
to the student's account at MSU to be applied to tuition and
fees.
