The Gus Archie Memorial Scholarship

Scholarship

The Gus Archie Memorial Scholarship is supported by the Archie Fund of the SPE Foundation. Each year the SPE Foundation, working through the SPE Section Scholarship Support Program, as well as working with individual candidates, awards the Archie Scholarship to the most outstanding student attending university for the first time. The curriculum must lead to an undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering.
The Archie Fund endows each scholarship at $6,000 per year. The program provides support of an individual student through up to four years of university study, provided that he/she makes satisfactory academic progress. Students rotate off the program after 4 years of scholarship support.

Selection Procedures

Applications may be submitted to any section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and should be screened by the section according to the criteria used in selecting recipients in the SPE Section Scholarship Support Program. Candidates may also apply directly to: Student Activities, Society of Petroleum Engineers, P.O. Box 833836, Richardson, TX 75083 3836, USA
