PSAC Scholarships and Grants

PSAC Member companies work in countless communities across Canada, and so PSAC is committed to investing in the future of these communities by offering scholarships to students towards post-secondary education and grants for schools in small communities of 30,000 inhabitants or less.

These are made possible through the PSAC Education Fund, which has a goal of creating awareness of career opportunities in the petroleum industry and helping to develop the future workforce. The intent is to provide financial assistance to individual students planning on pursuing post-secondary education and to schools looking to enhance studies in math, science and technology. This is an important opportunity to strengthen relationships between the petroleum service sector and local communities and provides opportunity to showcase the positive contributions of the petroleum industry.
