APPEA Engineering Scholarships

Details of APPEA’s Oil & Gas Industry 2013 Engineering Scholarships will be coming soon.

The two scholarships available are applicable in any field of engineering for undergraduate degrees and cover the remaining duration of the recipient’s studies for up to five years full-time or the equivalent in part-time study.

One scholarship is specifically for Indigenous Australians, and APPEA encourages applications from Indigenous Australians who are starting or already undertaking an engineering degree in Australia that is relevant to the oil and gas industry.

The other scholarship is open to all Australian residents who are starting or undertaking an engineering degree in Australia relevant to the oil and gas industry.

Both awards are sponsored by Brunel Energy.

The award for each scholarship is for $5000 per year up to a maximum of five years full-time or part-time equivalent. Additional funding of up to $5000 per annum is available for the Indigenous Australian Scholarship recipient for agreed mentoring services.
