The TAPPI Student Chapter is proud to congratulate Brice on receiving a 2026 Couch Pit Scholarship!

This recognition is especially meaningful, as Brice was nominated by the faculty and staff at Auburn University, with a unanimous decision from our faculty and advisors that he was the most deserving recipient of this honor.

The Couch Pit Scholarship is funded by Couch Pit University and reflects the strong support and commitment of industry leaders involved with Couch Pit who are dedicated to investing in the next generation of talent within the pulp and paper industry.

Being selected for this award is a true honor and a testament to Brice’s hard work, character, and potential. We are incredibly proud and grateful to Couch Pit University for supporting outstanding students like Brice.
Well done, Brice—we’re excited to see what the future holds! 👏
