Fugro GEOS Inc has announced its continued commitment to the scholarship program run by the Society for Underwater Technology - Houston Chapter (SUT Houston).

Once again, the company will be providing a $5,000 undergraduate scholarship as part of the overall programme that sees SUT Houston offering three $5,000 undergraduate scholarships and a $10,000 graduate scholarship; and corporate sponsors, including Fugro GEOS, between them offering a further $15,000-worth of support.

"This is the 4th year that we have offered a scholarship to be administered on our behalf by SUT Houston," explains Rob Smith, VP Sales & Marketing of Fugro GEOS Inc.  "During that time we have been proud to sponsor some extremely talented young people, and look forward to meeting the student who will be benefiting from our scholarship during the 2008-9 academic year." 

Applicants are encouraged and welcomed from the fields of marine science, technology and engineering or mainline science and engineering courses where students can demonstrate an interest in pursuing a career in the marine field or a marine application for their studies.  Undergraduate students must have completed at least one year of full-time study, and must be enrolled full time while receiving the scholarship.  Applicants can be students of any nationality in full-time study at any accredited college or university within the United States.
