The Avery Dennison Foundation Spirit of Invention (InvEnt) Scholarship Program honours and rewards invention, innovation, and excellence in entrepreneurial and high-achieving students in the fields of science, engineering, and technology studying at select higher education institutions in India. Program benefits include a merit-based scholarship award of USD 1300, ‘Spirit of Invention’ workshop, and networking opportunities with fellow InvEnt scholars and alumni.

Avery Dennison Foundation and the Institute of International Education (IIE) have collaborated since 2012 on this unique scholarship program which has supported 105 scholars so far, with IIE administering the program, including publicity, outreach, selection, and recognition event.

InvEnt alumni, selected and supported during 2021 and 2022, will attend an in-person alumni meeting in Pune, India during August 2023. This is subject to change.
