Since 1989 PAC Global has maintained a scholarship trust noted as the Lyn Jamison Award at OCAD University. Every second year this award is given to an out-of-province student that qualifies in structural package design.
PAC IOU, with the support of Kellanova, has implemented Scholarships to three academic insitutions, including CalPoly, Toronto Metropolitan University and Manchester Metropolitan University.
