Toray Plastics Pledges $2M to University of Rhode Island

Toray Plastics has a significant history of supporting the URI College of Engineering. The company has contributed nearly $2.3 million in gifts, primarily supporting the Toray Plastics of America Engineering Fellowship and the Toray Plastics of America Scholarship for undergraduate students.

During the current academic year, more than 26 students have received financial assistance from the two Toray funds. The company also provides internships and sponsors special design projects for students to pursue during their senior year. This latest gift from Toray will significantly boost its overall support of the University and will provide the company with naming rights for the atrium of the proposed College of Engineering building.
