PLGA Scholarship Program
The PLGA Scholarship Program has undergone changes that more accurately affect the objectives of the program and PLGA Global.

The new program allows university partner sutdents to submit applications for one competitive $2,000 scholarship. This is to be accompanied by a 1,000 word essay demonstrating their knowledge of the gravure process and industry. They must also have referrals from the schools’ program faculty. In an effort to standardize judging criteria, the PLGA Global now has members completing the judging to better reflect what they believe will better serve the gravure industry.

PLGA Scholarship Program
The PLGA has begun a new Internship Grant Program to support university students whose internships are in the gravure industry. Internship Grants are in the amount of $1,000 — $500 payable upon acceptance of the application and $500 payable upon receipt of a report on the internship (500 word minimum). A maximum of 10 Internship Grants per year will be awarded.

Both of these scholarship/internship programs directly impact the gravure industry. The industry will be supporting those students that will actually impact member companies and provide a training ground for their future workforce. For those companies interested in hosting an intern, please contact the PLGA Education Foundation at laurah@gravurexchange.com.
