“The foundation is keen on encouraging fresh thinking and through this scholarship, our goal is for students to express their innovative ideas and foster their passion effectively,” said Moji Akingbade, general manager, Avery Dennison India.
She further added, “With respect to the winners, each student was chosen for his or her high academic standing and potential to think innovatively. We believe they will be future leaders who will positively change the world.”
With respect to the selection process of these top scholars, Alicia Maddox, President, Avery Dennison Foundation, and Vice-President, Corporate Social Responsibility, said, “The selection process is a rigorous two-stage process where students apply through an online portal and a three-member panel is identified and invited to work independently for the selection of the scholars.”
