Scholarship

The Scholarship Committee is dedicated to increasing interest in the energy industry among graduating high school seniors and retaining students currently enrolled in science and energy-related academic disciplines. Through recruiting fairs, special event tours, summer employment internships, and direct contact during the students' academic careers, the committees work to insure a steady flow of focused, high quality, and talented graduates entering the energy industry.   

Communities In Schools Houston

The SPE Gulf Coast Section partners with the Communities in Schools Houston program (CISH) to help serve at-risk students in the Greater Houston area.  CISH is a campus based, non-profit organization that provides direct services and resources to under-served children with unmet needs. 

Working alongside the Aldine, Alief, Houston, and Spring Branch school districts, CISH is able to touch the lives of over 30,000 students and their families on an annual basis. To help the cause that CISH provides, SPE provides scholarship funding for CISH students to aide them in their college careers.  Without this funding, many of these students would not be able to afford to go to college.  Also, a large portion of the students that SPE and CISH help are the first in their family to ever attend a college or university program.
