Auburn Pulp, Paper and Bioresource Program Oct. 28

The International Paper Courtland Mill is working with Auburn University to
provide information to high school juniors and seniors about the Auburn
Pulp, Paper, & Bioresource Program. In conjunction with this program, the
Auburn Pulp and Paper Foundation (APPF) offers undergraduate academic
scholarships for students attending Auburn University and specializing in
one of the pulp, paper & bio-resource options in chemical, electrical or
mechanical engineering. These scholarships are offered to the best and
brightest students who are interested in a career in the pulp, paper &
bio-resource industry. Graduates of this program are uniquely qualified to
work in the pulp and paper industry and continue to be in strong demand.
In addition to the scholarship opportunities available through APPF, the
mill will be awarding one student the fifth Courtland Mill Auburn Pulp and
Paper Foundation Engineering Scholarship. Scholarships are awarded
strictly on merit and cover one half of tuition costs for the first year
and could be increased for subsequent years depending on academic
performance. To qualify, students need to have high scores in math,
chemistry, and physics and have an ACT score of 26 or higher.
To learn more about these scholarship opportunities, we would like to
invite qualified seniors or juniors and their counselors to the Courtland
Mill on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Auburn University
faculty and Courtland Mill employees will conduct the program. Lunch and a
tour of the Courtland Mill will be included. The program will conclude by
1 p.m. The day’s event will be business casual and we ask that everyone wear long pants or jeans and closed toe shoes as a safety precaution for touring our manufacturing facility.

If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Ms. Kirk no later than Oct. 22 to reserve your seat!
