Chevron Bangladesh awarded scholarship among some 824 students from 24 educational institutions near Chevron's Bibiyana, Jalalabad and Moulavi Bazar natural gas fields, reports UNB.
This was a part of its ongoing yearly scholarship distribution programme for financially disadvantaged, meritorious students, said a Chevron press release adding that around 66 per cent students were female who received the financial support.
The stipends were handed over at a ceremony on Saturday at the premises of the Chevron's Bibiyana Gas Plant.
Of the scholarships, 22 were given to students who received excellent grades in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations.
Chevron Bangladesh started the scholarship programme with only five educational institutions more than 12 years ago.
