Tullow Oil, a multi-billion dollar oil and gas company has in its corporate social responsibility goal revealed new scholarships for the year 2013/2014 to students in countries where Tullow has operations and that need to
grow the capacity and skills of their labour force.
The application process for the Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme (TGSS) is open from 9th January until 13 February. Interested candidates should apply online at www.tullowgroupscholarshipscheme.org.
The TGSS aims to build capacity in areas where Tullow’s host countries might experience significant skills gaps, especially, but not exclusively, around their oil and gas industries. Scholarships are available to post graduates who are committed to making a contribution to their own country’s development. The Scheme gives candidates the opportunity to receive a high standard of education from internationally recognised institutions, which can then be applied in their home country.
A wide range of courses will be offered that are designed to contribute to economic growth of the participating country. These will include Engineering & Technology, Geosciences, Oil & Gas Economics and Supply Chain. Scholarships will be awarded across the following countries; Congo Brazzaville, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mauritania, Uganda, Uruguay and Suriname. The number of awards allocated to each country is weighted to the appropriate phase (project life cycle) of Tullow’s business within that country.
The Scheme is fully managed by the British Council which has over 40 years experience in global scholarship management. It is expected to run for the next few years and is aligned with Tullow’s aims of supporting long-term socio-economic growth in countries where it operates.
