America Goche, a student in Mexico and recipient of a Global Children of Employees Scholarship said, "I am very excited! Avery Dennison's efforts and dedication help the employees' children continue our studies each day. Every little bit helps with our education!"

The Avery Dennison Foundation concentrates on giving across three pillars: education access, environmental sustainability and secure livelihoods. These three areas of focus help the Foundation achieve its vision for diverse, equitable and sustainable communities around the world that help people thrive.

In support of its education pillar, the Avery Dennison Foundation provides scholarships for children of employees through two key programs: the U.S. Scholars program and the Global Children of Employees Scholarship program. These programs recognize academic excellence by awarding scholarships to students pursuing higher education in colleges, universities, and accredited vocational programs. The goal of these scholarships is to encourage children to attend higher education with the hopes that the students will be inspired to pursue their passions.

The U.S. Scholars program started in 1977 and has provided college scholarships to over 600 children of U.S. employees. The program awarded $42,000 to 21 students attending colleges or universities in eight states this year.
