The American Petroleum Institute – Delta Chapter will again offer college scholarships for 2011 – 2012 school year. The API – Delta Chapter scholarship program is designed to help students of exceptional promise reach their full potential through education.

The API – Delta Chapter understands the financial difficulties facing college students today. Funds from the annual Clay Shoot Tournament and the Golf Tournament are used to fund the scholarships. "The Delta Chapter awarded $20,000 in scholarship to 30 students last year", said Board Chairman John Dribus "and we look forward to matching that number again this year."

The scholarships are given for a wide variety of experiences, career goals and higher education plans. However, API will give preferences to those pursuing a career in Petroleum or Chemical Engineering, Geology and the sciences. Scholarships are awarded to incoming College Freshmen or a student who is currently attending a four-year accredited college, working towards a Bachelors or Masters degree.

An applicant must submit a completed application form along with a college or high school transcript (ACT or SAT score reports are also required for entering freshmen) by March 15th and must be referred by an API/Delta Chapter member. The full application and guidelines can be found on the API web-site at www.api-delta.org.

For further information, please contact the Scholarship Chairperson, Peggy Bourgeois at (504) 367-1721 or at (504) 289-4653 or any member of the scholarship committee.
