COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Each year, the NHAPL Board of Directors votes to give multiple scholarships to student applicants for the upcoming school year. The applicants are thoroughly reviewed in a process beginning in March, led by the Philanthropic Chair, Sam Kneisley (Sabine O&G) and then announced at the May Luncheon.

This year, in 2020, we'll be awarding three (3) scholarships of $1,000 to deserving individuals. If you know a student who is pursuing a career in the Land industry, please contact us!

Our 2018-2019 recipients of scholarships are:

Nicholas's Thank You:

Dear NHAPL,

I am sincerely honored and very grateful to have been selected as one of this year’s NHAPL Scholarship recipients. With the cost of today’s education, the financial support from NHAPL is key to my success at Texas Tech while pursuing my Energy Commerce degree.  

Thank you for your generous financial aid, because of your scholarship I will have the opportunity to clearly focus and accomplish my academic goals, while at the same time significantly decrease my academic financial impact. I am thrilled to enter the Oil and Gas industry and one day also have the opportunity to give back to the community and assist others the same way NHAPL has done for me.

Best Regards,
Nicolas Teran

Dear NHAPL,

I would like to thank everyone within NHAPL for selecting me as a recipient of the 2018-2019 scholarship. I am honored to be able to represent this organization as a recipient, and it is something I do not take lightly. This generous contribution towards my education will overall lessen my financial burden and allow me to focus completely on finishing up my degree and entering the workforce. 
In addition to just assisting me financially, this scholarship holds additional significance to me. It means a lot to receive this support from other industry professionals and fills me with optimism for my own career. I hope someday to also be able to give back and support young professionals on their journey into the industry. 

Thank you,
Cameron Holman

Sam's Thank You Letter:

Dear NHAPL:

I am honored to be a recipient of the NHAPL scholarship award. This scholarship is pivotal to the financing of my college education. Coming from a family with five kids, my parents and I work very hard to ensure I am able to pursue a college degree. This award will allow me to focus more on my academics and less on the increasing costs of tuition. 

 

It is exciting to receive a scholarship from such a reputable organization associated with the energy industry. I look forward to a career in the energy industry and this scholarship will certainly be something I talk about in energy-related job interviews.

Best,
Sam Jackson
