2010 APPMA scholarship submissions close in April

The due date for submissions for the 2010 Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association of Australia scholarship will be the close of business on Friday 30 April.

The second annual scholarship program, announced by the Australian Packaging Machinery Association, in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Packaging, will enable a packaging engineer to complete a Diploma in Packaging Technology.

Rob Lawrence, Chairman of the Australian Packaging Machinery Association, has said that the annual scholarship enables the awardee to enrol in the Australian Institute of Packaging Diploma in Packaging Technology, an internationally recognised and accredited course.

The Diploma in Packaging Technology qualification is broad and provides an opportunity to study the principles of packaging, packaging materials and packaging processes. The diploma is a degree-level qualification that prepares students to take responsibility for packaging operations at any level through the supply chain.

Information is available by emailing info@aipack.com.au or visiting www.aipack.com.au and clicking on the scholarship page.

The 2010 winner will be announced at the AIP National Conference to be held on 16 and 17 June at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Victoria.
