The Powder Coating Institute (PCI) recently awarded its 2023 scholarships to deserving students who are studying subjects that can lead to a career in powder coating. “PCI members are always looking for young, motivated talent to grow their businesses,” states PCI Executive Director Kevin Coursin. “As such, PCI is committed, along with our corporate partners, to provide the scholarship program for individuals that might be interested in working in the powder coating industry. With the addition of an eighth corporate scholarship this year, the total award dollars increased to $50,000.” PCI manages the scholarship program, which solicits applications from students from educational institutions throughout the country. PCI member companies also provide support to the scholarship program through corporate sponsorships. The corporate sponsors benefit by being involved in the selection process and investing in potential personnel from the pool of candidates. With continued support from corporate donors, the scholarship program reaches a broad range of students and guides them into careers in the powder coating industry. The PCI scholarship program continues to grow and promote the powder coating industry to the younger generations, which include students pursuing degrees in polymer science, manufacturing, engineering, business management, and marketing. Coursin adds, “Each year it becomes more challenging to select the recipients with the growing number of exceptional qualified applicants.” The 2023 PCI Scholarship Program awarded $50,000 in total, which includes donations of $5,000 from each of PCI’s eight corporate donors: Axalta Coating Systems, Gema USA Inc., Henkel Corporation, IFS Coatings, Nordson Corporation, PPG, Sun Polymers and Therma-Tron-X, Inc. The growth of the scholarship program enhances the potential of young scholars in the industry and PCI is proud to be a part of it. PCI is especially grateful to the corporate donors who have helped increase the number of awards given. Congratulations to the following students who were awarded scholarships this year.
