FFTA opens 2026 scholarship applications

The Foundation of the Flexographic Technical Association (FFTA) has opened applications for its 2026 FFTA Scholarship and the Gary Hilliard FQC Scholarship, with a deadline of April 10, 2026.

Both awards offer 3,000 USD to students pursuing education and careers in flexography and graphic communications.

The FFTA Scholarship is open to high school seniors and college freshmen, sophomores and juniors with a demonstrated interest in flexography or graphic communications. The Gary Hilliard FQC Scholarship is awarded to a student who develops and executes a flexography-focused project designed to advance the industry.

'Every breakthrough in flexography starts with someone willing to learn, experiment, and lead,' said Kelsey Schmidt, manager of education delivery at FFTA. 'These scholarships empower students to take that first step.'

Applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. ET on April 10. Full eligibility requirements and application details are available on the FFTA website.
