1997 was a big year for the oil & gas industry. The Hibernia project was successfully completed, hauled out to sea, and started drawing oil.

The Noia-Hibernia Commemorative Scholarship Fund was created to commemorate this landmark year. It offers an annual scholarship of $1,000 to a graduating high school student in Newfoundland and Labrador who is entering post-secondary studies and intending to pursue a petroleum-related career. These are the bright minds that will shape the future of this industry, and we feel like it would only be right to foster some of their development. The scholarship will be awarded to the student who best meets academic and extra-curricular criteria.

If you’re about to graduate in June 2012 and are pursuing post-secondary studies with the goal of a career in petroleum in the 2012-2013 academic year, we encourage you to apply for this scholarship. Each student should outline their community and extra-curricular activities in the completed application and include a letter of reference.

Applications should be sent to the following address:
