Scholarship Program
The Rocky Mountain Chapter has established a program of awarding scholarships to area engineering students since our inception in 1996. In 2008 we added a new program to attract students in technical programs at the region's community colleges.
The chapter had an unprecedented year in 2009 and awarded a total of $24,000 to a very talented pool of students. The Chapter awarded nine $ 1,000.00 scholarships to area community colleges, along with four $ 3,000 and two $ 1,500 scholarships to area universities. We gratefully appreciate the support members have shown for all of the following activities which help support this endeavor:
- membership dues
- attendance at quarterly meetings
- participation in golf tournaments
- participation in ski outings on the Winter Park ski train
- participation in clay shooting
The Chapter has established specific guidelines for selecting recipients of the Rocky Mountain GPA scholarships. These guidelines are that a student:
- has a sincere financial need
- has demonstrated an interest in the Oil and Gas Industry
- is maintaining a B or better GPA
- is working to aid in his or her own education
- has reached the third year at the University or has completed their first semester of their two year technical program
- submits an essay to the Scholarship Committee addressing these issues
Our Chapter awarded $24,000 in scholarships to these recipients in 2009.
