About the scholarship

The Scholarship was established in 2002 and is funded by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), a worldwide organisation which collects, disseminates, and exchanges technical information concerning the development of oil and gas resources, and provides opportunities through its programmes for interested (and qualified) individuals to maintain and upgrade their individual technical competence in these areas. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to encourage and support student interest in, and awareness of, the application of engineering principles to the ongoing development of the oil and gas industry, particularly in New Zealand.
