York College of Pennsylvania and Adhesives Research Inc. have entered into a new educational partnership designed to expand access to higher education for Adhesives Research employees and their families while strengthening the region's workforce.

The agreement establishes both undergraduate and graduate education benefits for eligible Adhesives Research employees, spouses, and dependents. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to continuing education, employee development, and investing in the local community.

York College will guarantee undergraduate admission to eligible employees and dependents who meet academic requirements and will award a minimum $10,000 annual academic scholarship, valued at $40,000 over four years. Adhesives Research will match the college's scholarship funding dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000 per student per academic year.

In addition, the graduate education agreement gives tuition discounts for employees, spouses, and dependents pursuing graduate degrees or credit-bearing certificates. Eligible students may receive a 15% tuition discount for select online graduate programs or a partner-rate discount of approximately 5% for programs in the Dr. Donald E. and Lois J. Myers School of Nursing and Health Professions.

Adhesives Research is a global leader in specialty adhesive-coated materials and processing equipment, with facilities worldwide.

The agreement underscores the role of higher education and industry collaboration in addressing workforce needs and supporting lifelong learning in York County and beyond.
