Students also may be eligible for the scholarship if taking courses during summer sessions.

“Investing in the next generation workforce is key to ensuring the long-term success of our facility,” said Chad Jennings, plant manager for Golden Triangle Polymers. “We never want finances to be a barrier to having a skilled local workforce, so we’re excited to make this donation and hope it encourages young people to seek out careers in the petrochemical industry.”

Full-time Lamar State College-Orange students studying industrial systems, which includes degrees in instrumentation, process technology, safety, health and environment, and pre-engineering are eligible for the scholarship. Eligibility for the Golden Triangle Polymers Scholarship will also require that students graduate from a high school in the nine-county Golden Triangle region to encourage participation in the regional workforce.
