BP Azerbaijan presents bursary to students of Azerbaijan State Oil Academy

BP as the operator of Azerbaijan's major oil and gas development and transportation projects is committed to Azerbaijan's successful future and as part of this commitment BP supports very important educational initiatives and programs in this country. Thus, today some 66 first and second year students of the State Oil Academy have received BP`s bursary awards.

BP's bursary program together with another equally important educational initiative funded by bp provides the main resourcing line for the company`s annual summer internship program. In 2009, for instance, 70% of the students, who practiced engineering and geosciences summer internship with BP, were recipients of either BP bursary awards or other BP-involved scholarships.

As part of the bursary awards programme over the past years bp has also donated some 5,000 AZN worth books and scientific magazines to the library of the State Oil Academy.
