ConocoPhillips donated $60,000 in scholarships available for Native American students in New Mexico to San Juan College’s School of Energy.
The goal of the scholarships is to prepare current and future generations for jobs in the evolving energy industry. San Juan College will award scholarships to as many as 20 Native American students living in the state of New Mexico.
The money can be used to offset the cost of tuition, books and housing for those who qualify. Students may select from programs offered by the School of Energy, which include Instrumentation Controls and Electrical Technology, Industrial Process Operator Program, Advanced Petroleum Production, Industrial Maintenance Mechanic and Natural Gas Compression Program.
Over the course of the past 25 years, ConocoPhillips has contributed nearly $850,000 in support of San Juan College and its students.
