ISRI’s Paper Stock Industries (PSI) Chapter selected eight college-bound students as winners in its annual academic scholarship program.

This year’s scholarship winners, along with their sponsoring ISRI/PSI Chapter member company and the school they will be attending, are as follows:

Students must meet rigorous criteria to apply for a PSI Chapter scholarship, and they must be dependents of an individual who has been employed for at least one year by a company that is a current active member of ISRI and the PSI Chapter. The employee must work in the recycling division of the member company, and the applicant cannot be a dependent of a company officer or principal.

The PSI Chapter supports its academic scholarships through raffles, donations, and an annual fundraising bowling tournament in conjunction with the Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference North America, which the chapter co-sponsors. This year, the PSI Chapter bowling tournament is scheduled for Oct. 17, 8 to 11 p.m., at Lucky Strike-Chicago.
