Hess Corp. Sets Up YSU Scholarship for Engineering
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- The Hess Corp., a global energy company, has established a scholarship for engineering students at Youngstown State University, the university announced today. The scholarship is available to residents of Jefferson, Harrison, Belmont and Guernsey counties.
The scholarship is intended to encourage and support students pursuing a degree in civil, mechanical, systems, electrical and construction engineering and is open to nontraditional students and displaced workers who return to college to regain employment.
Interim Provost Martin Abraham and Greg Sturrus, interim dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, accepted the $8,000 gift to launch the Hess Corp. Scholarship.
“Quality engineers are the future of our industry’s workforce and this scholarship is an investment in our youth and future,” said Rob Williams, manager of operations at Hess, in a prepared statement.
Hess Corp., headquartered in New York City, has 90,000 acres of Utica Shale operations in eastern Ohio, a portion of which is a 50-50 joint venture with Consol Energy Inc., and operates in the four counties where recipients of the scholarship must reside.
