The scholarship will include three students from Mapua Institute of Technology and they will be awarded US$1,500 each.<\/p>\n

As a part of the scholarship program held in The Philippines, as well as Vietnam and Myanmar, five of the scholars will conduct internships at the U.S. research and development campus of Honeywell UOP, a global leader in refining and petrochemical technology. One of the chemical engineering students selected for internships will further develop their skills through direct participation with UOP technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to extend the scholarship program in The Philippines to augment the country\u2019s growth by supporting its talented students in their pursuit of education in chemical engineering,\u201d said Jim Rekoske, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Honeywell UOP. \u201cWorking with leading university in The Philippines, our program invests in the next generation of the country\u2019s scientific and research talent, which will benefit its refining, gas processing and petrochemical industries for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cash award from Honeywell UOP is very important because it comes from the leading company in petroleum engineering,\u201d said a student at Mapua Institute of Technology, and one of the students who completed an internship at Honeywell UOP last summer. \u201cI was invigorated by the experience, and I look forward to applying my new expertise in my work in The Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the scholarships and internships, Honeywell UOP also provides an annual lecture series in refining and petrochemicals to each of 12 leading universities in Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, and The Philippines. The lecture series contributes greatly to the academic curriculum in chemical engineering at these institutions, helping to develop a strong pool of talent in the industry across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
