SPE Star Scholarship/Fellowship
Each year, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) awards Star scholarships and fellowships representing a 1 million dollar commitment to education. Regions may customize the criteria, number and value of the scholarships and fellowships. Thus, the dollar amount of the funding varies among the 15 SPE regions.
Scholarship and Fellowship Deadlines
Applications within each region must be submitted by 15 March annually. SPE will notify recipients by 20 May annually.
SPE General Scholarship and Fellowship Criteria
The program aims to support a student through a maximum of four years of university study or until graduation, provided that they make satisfactory academic progress. Students automatically rotate off the program after graduation or 4 years, whichever comes first. The SPE Scholarships/Fellowships are awarded to the most deserving candidate from the applications received as determined by the Regional Scholarship Committee. Click here for more information.
