The Community Scholarship program awards 66 scholarships to high school seniors who are members of Boys & Girls Club programs in Phillips 66 communities.
“We are excited to work with the Boys & Girls Club of Alton and the Boys & Girls Club of Bethalto on this program,” says Melissa Erker, Director of Government & Community Relations at Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery. “This scholarship is unique in that it not only offers the opportunity for a substantial financial award but also for an opportunity for a potential internship if applicable. In addition, this scholarship highlights the partnerships Phillips 66 already had to support the mission of Boys and Girls Clubs in our local communities.”
An external review panel will score applications based on academic achievement and financial need. Students can submit their application at https://learnmore.scholarsapply.org/phillips66-community.
The Phillips 66 Community Advisory Panel (CAP) Scholarship is a non-renewable $1,000 scholarship for high school seniors. The scholarship program is open to full-time students at Alton, Civic Memorial, East Alton-Wood River, Roxana, or Marquette high schools.
The scholarship is open to applicants planning to attend a two-year or four-year program at a community college or university. Applications are judged based on education and career goals, community service, financial need, and academic performance.
“Our Community Advisory Panel, known as CAP, is a group of local stakeholders who meet with refinery leadership on a monthly basis,” says Erker. "The scholarship program is one of the many ideas which came out from these ongoing interactions and has awarded more than $75,000 in financial support to students since the program started in 2008.”
A copy of the CAP scholarship application can be obtained through the school guidance counselors.
