ASC Awards Scholarships to Six Students Pursuing Degrees in Science and Business

The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) announced the recipients of its member-only scholarship program for the 2021-2022 academic year. The scholarships were awarded in the spring to six outstanding students pursuing science and/or business-related degrees, totaling $6,250.

The scholarship program was established in 2017 in memory of Gene Simmons, one of the industry’s most experienced, knowledgeable, and respected pressure-sensitive adhesive formulators. Simmons was very dedicated to his development work, and recognized the tremendous importance of passing his knowledge onto those less experienced in his field. In keeping with his spirit of willing mentorship, the program was started with the support of his wife, Irene, and Evans Adhesive to encourage students in pursuit of their degree in a related field. Scholarships are made possible only through donations.
