Scholarship Opportunity: Desk and Derrick Club of San Antonio

The Desk and Derrick Club of San Antonio was founded over 50 years ago in order to provide learning opportunities to employees of the oil and gas industry. Because they strongly believe that education is a powerful and necessary tool for success, the club created a scholarship fund. This year, they will award scholarships to graduating seniors from a public school, charter school, or home school in Bexar County or an adjacent county.

Scholarship recipients may be students who have excelled academically with a minimum 3.0 grade average. Students may be the ones who radiate leadership qualities but may not necessarily have been involved in many extracurricular activities or community service because of financial and/or other personal circumstances. They are seeing students who strive to reach for their goals despite their personal situations.
