The SPE-GCS gives over $170,000 annually in scholarships. The annual SPE-GCS Awards and Scholarship Banquet recognizes the high school seniors and college students who have received SPE-GCS or Communities in Schools – Houston scholarships for the 2025 academic year. The scholarship recipients and their parents are invited to attend. This is a fantastic opportunity to welcome outstanding students into the petroleum industry and make a positive impression on community members. In addition, this event also recognizes our SPE Gulf award winners and Gulf Coast North America Region award winners. Because the SPE-GCS Awards Banquet honors the accomplishments of our scholarship recipients, these recipients, and their parents are invited to attend the banquet free of charge. Company table sponsorships make this banquet possible.
