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 Fall 2010 / Spring 2011 Semesters the Association will once again award FOUR separate $5,000 Scholarships with $2,500 checks to be made payable jointly to the recipient and his/her college and paid at the beginning of each semester.  Scholarships will be awarded only once per recipient.  Applications will be available online beginning January 1, 2010.


For Fall 2009 / Spring 2010 Semesters the Association is happy to announce that FOUR separate $5,000 Scholarships were awarded to the following candidates:

S. Elizabeth Brumbaugh, Texas A&M University
J. Ryan Dixon, Texas Tech University
Kathryn M. Hoeffner, Texas A&M University
Douglas E. Middleton, The Pennsylvania State University

Recipients who received $2,500 in tuition assistance for the Spring 2009 semester were:

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

NESA's Board of Directors 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.
