The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP), along with the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Foundation, is now accepting applications for the 2023 scholarship program.
Students who are interested in pursuing careers in the natural gas and oil industry can qualify for a $1,000 scholarship. Applications will be accepted through March 1.

The scholarship can be used to attend an accredited college, university, technical or trade school. The student must maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
