The Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering awards
scholarships each year to incoming high school students. These awards
are based on the students' academic achievement as reflected in their
high school GPAs, class rank, and SAT scores. To be eligible for these
scholarships, admitted students must be enrolled in Petroleum
Engineering or Geosystems Engineering and Hydrogeology and must take 14
hours towards their engineering degree. Students who have been accepted
to the PGE department, who are slated to receive scholarships, will
receive notification by the department shortly after their admission as
to the scholarship award and amount.
Ongoing students may also be eligible to receive departmental
scholarships, if their cumulative GPA is 3.5 or above and if they have
not received their scholarship goal through School of Engineering
scholarships.* Transfer students are eligible after they have completed
one semester in residence at The University of Texas at Austin campus.
Departmental scholarships are made possible through the generous
gifts of our alumni and the petroleum industry.
*Student goals are determined based on GPA: a student with a
3.5 GPA might be assigned a scholarship goal of $500. for an academic
year. If the student received $300. through scholarships awarded in the
School of Engineering, the PGE department would award the student
$200. for the academic year. Availability of scholarships is dependent
on the level of support the PGE department receives each year for its
scholarship account.
