Petroleum Accountants Society of the Permian Basin Scholarship

PASPB and COPAS objectives include assistance to educational institutions through the contribution of speakers, books and scholarships. Education and professional development have always been vital programs of both organizations.

Through the generosity of the members of PASPB, a scholarship program has been established to assist area accounting students in their educational endeavors by providing funds applicable to tuition, fees or books for an entire scholastic year.

A scholarship committee reviews the applications, interviews the applicants as needed and recommends the recipients to the PASPB Board of Directors. Scholarships are awarded in April each year by the Board of Directors. The scholarships awarded each year are dependent on available funds.

Applicants Must:

• Major in the field of accounting
