According to the company, the STEM scholarship supports students interested in the energy industry. One of the two students recognized for receiving the scholarship is Kara Haj from Windsor High School. She will major in Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Chemistry/Biochemistry, and will attend the University of California, Los Angeles.
The two Colorado students selected for the STEM scholarship are among 57 students across the nation who were chosen.
The students selected from the competitive application process had an interest in studying science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) at a technical school or a four-year college, with plans to seek jobs in the energy, chemicals, or manufacturing fields, according to officials.
According to officials, the students selected to enter a technical education program would receive a $2,000 scholarship, and those who plan to attend a four-year university would receive a $5,000 scholarship. If the students remain enrolled and meet the GPA requirements, their scholarship will renew each year until graduation.
Courney Meadows, Phillips 66 manager of Social Impact, said, “Through the company’s social impact programs, Phillips 66 works to create stronger, safer, and more resilient communities in the areas where it operates. Phillips 66 invests in education at every level, beginning in elementary and continuing through post-secondary education.”
“Supporting education equity is an important part of our social impact strategy, and it’s one of the ways we give back with purpose,” said Courtney Meadows, Phillips 66 manager of Social Impact. “This program helps students access STEM education and explore careers that will shape the future of energy. It’s about opening doors, growing talent and helping our communities thrive.”
