NCTO announces winner of 2019 Paul T O'Day scholarship

Dunnam will pursue a major in fashion and textile management at NC State University this fall, said NCTO in a press release.

“We are pleased to recognise Dunnam’s exceptional record of academic achievements with her selection as the 2019 recipient of the Paul T O’Day memorial scholarship. All of us on the Fibre Council congratulate Dunnam and wish her continued success in her academic career,” said NCTO Fibre Council chairman David Poston, president of Palmetto Synthetics LLC.

The scholarship programme was created in 2014 in honour of Paul T O’Day who served as president of the American Fiber Manufacturers Association (AFMA) for more than three decades. The association merged with the National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) in April 2018, and NCTO’s Fibre Council now administers the scholarship programme. Recipients receive a $5,000 award each year, totaling $20,000 for four years of study. Sons or daughters of NCTO’s Fibre Council member company employees are eligible to apply.

NCTO is a Washington, DC-based trade association that represents domestic textile manufacturers, including artificial and synthetic filament and fibre producers. (PC)
