Houston-based Halliburton Co. (NYSE: HAL) has donated $1 million to Prairie View A&M University to fund new scholarships.
The Halliburton Business and Engineering Scholarship Fund is for PVAMU juniors and seniors who are majoring in accounting, management information systems, finance and engineering. Eight students will receive $12,500 scholarships in the first year, and Halliburton will add on 16 additional scholarships for the same amount during the next four years. The scholarship can be renewed up to two years, and recipients have to participate in the company’s Rise and summer internship programs.
“We are grateful for Halliburton’s commitment to the success of our engineering and business students. Their provision of scholarships, mentoring, and internships for Halliburton Scholars will greatly enhance these students’ prospects for successful careers,” said Prairie View A&M University President Ruth J. Simmons.
