Scholarship applicants are assessed by the South Australian SPE committee based on academic achievement, enthusiasm towards the industry, extra-curricular activities and financial hardships such as remote relocation. This year more than 40 scholarship applications were received.

More than $15,000 AUD in prizes were awarded to the scholarship winners of 2016. The awards are aimed at motivating students during their studies as they make their way into the petroleum industry.
