The National Association of Oil & Energy Service Professionals (OESP), formerly NAOHSM, is still accepting applications for the Dave Nelsen Scholarship Program. “The oil and energy industry is continually looking for qualified technicians,” saysJudy Garber, OESP executive director. “OESP’s mission is education and we’re taking the lead by supporting our future technicians through annual scholarships.”
The Dave Nelsen Scholarship fund was established in 1999. Since then, more than $191,000 in awards has been presented to students interested in pursuing their careers in the energy-service industry. This marks the scholarship’s 14th year and OESP, along with industry partners, plans to award a minimum of four $5,000 awards. The scholarship is funded by an annual golf tournament held during OESP’s Annual Convention.
