Petroleum Technology Scholarships
The University of Arkansas in Morrilton has dozens of students who are receiving scholarships to study petroleum technology. This is a good deal for the school and Arkansas companies because local companies are having a difficult job finding trained industry workers. So, it makes sense to give thousands of dollars in scholarships to help local students attend classes. Gas company leaders say there are thousands of jobs opening as drilling continues throughout the state.
Keith Waddell, who’s in charge of the scholarship fund, says, "What these students are doing is a 2 year program. it's like going from infancy to a PHD and they'll do that in 2 years."
The students are thrilled that starting pay for the jobs is from $50,000-$80,000.
