National Energy Services Association and the industry we support have been the beneficiaries of a vibrant energy economy over the last few years.  Thus the Board of Directors and Staff decided to begin evaluating programs that would allow us to give back to our communities.  NESA's Excellence in Education Scholarship Program is the first such program approved by the Board.  We encourage all Members to pass this information along to others outside our NESA family.

NESA's Scholarship Program will provide tuition assistance to a person pursuing an undergraduate degree.  For the Spring Semester of 2009 the Association will award FOUR separate $2,500 Scholarships with checks to be made payable jointly to the recipient and his/her college and paid at the beginning of the semester.  Scholarships will be awarded only once per recipient.

NESA has selected the first recipients of our "Excellence in Education" Scholarships.  Due to a tie in the scoring process the Committee decided to award FIVE scholarships, instead of the four previously offered.  The candidates who will receive $2,500 in tuition assistance for the Spring 2009 semester are:  

Amanda Jean Brown, Texas A&M University
Joseph Clayton Cowling, Texas Tech University
James Ryan Dixon, Texas Tech University
Laura Eleanore Donnelly, The University of Texas
Justin David Grant, Tulane University

NOTE: Application for 2009-2010 Semesters will be available online beginning January 1, 2009.  NESA will award four separate $5,000 Scholarships to 2009-2010 applicants.

NESA's Board and Staff would like to thank our Members and Corporate Sponsors for their support, which allows us to undertake this ambitious program.  Additionally we would like to thank the Scholarship Committee for their commitment to researching and developing this worthwhile program.
