The Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme aims to build capacity
in areas where Tullow’s host countries experience significant skills gaps,
especially, but not exclusively, around their oil and gas industries.
The Scheme is aligned with Tullow’s aim of supporting
long-term socio-economic development in countries where it operates.
Scholarships are available to those who are committed to
making a contribution to their own country’s development. The Scheme gives
candidates a chance to receive a high standard of education from
internationally recognised institutions, which can then be applied in the
scholar’s home country.
The Tullow Group Scholarships Scheme will cover the cost of
full tuition fees plus additional expenses including travel.
Students from Ghana, Uganda, Gabon, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya,
Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Mauritania, Congo Brazzaville, Mauritania, Suriname and
French Guiana are eligible for the scheme, which has been developed by Tullow
Oil and is managed by the British Council.
