PSI Scholarships Assist Students with College Expenses

One membership benefit of the ReMA Paper Stock Industries Chapter and ReMA’s Recycling Research and Education Foundation is to annually award scholarships that help select students pay for certificate or degree programs at technical, trade, and vocational schools as well as two-year or four-year post-secondary institutions.

2024 Scholarship Winners

The ReMA Paper Stock Industries (PSI) Chapter awarded $50,000 to 19 students in its 2024 academic scholarship program, setting records for the total funds awarded and the number of student recipients. The 2024 scholarship total includes one $5,000 grand-prize scholarship and 18 $2,500 merit scholarships.

Winning students can use the PSI scholarship funds to pay for certificate or degree programs at technical, trade, and vocational schools as well as two-year or four-year post-secondary institutions.
