The Syracuse Pulp & Paper Foundation (SPPF) prepares students to lead the pulp, paper, and allied industries—essential sectors that support everything from packaging and medical supplies to sustainable materials and renewable resources. In partnership with State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF), we remove financial barriers and provide the scholarships, mentorship, and hands-on experience students need to launch rewarding careers.
Our graduates enjoy 100% job placement, entering the workforce debt-free and ready to design smarter, more sustainable solutions that benefit companies, communities, and the environment we all share.
