   Tullow Oil plc (Tullow), an oil and gas exploration and production group, on Thursday announced that it has opened the application process for the Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme (TGSS) for the 2013/2014 academic year, until February 13.

   

   A statement, from the company said said 114 scholarships would be awarded to beneficiaries, under the TGSS, and asked interested applicants to apply online at www.tullowgroupscholarshipscheme.org
      
   The TGSS is aimed at building capacity in areas where Tullow’s host countries might experience significant skills gaps, especially, but not exclusively, around their oil and gas industries, it said.
       
   The statement explained that the scholarships were available to post-graduates, who are committed to making contributions to their own country’s development,  
       
   It said the Scheme would also give beneficiaries the opportunity to receive high standard of education from internationally recognised institutions, which could be applied in their home country.
       
   “A wide range of courses will be offered that are designed to contribute to economic growth of the participating country, including Engineering  and Technology, Geosciences, Oil and  Gas Economics and Supply Chain”, the statement said.
       
   It said the scholarships would be awarded to countries including Congo Brazzaville, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mauritania, Uganda, Uruguay and Suriname, and the number of awards allocated to each country was weighted to the appropriate phase (project life cycle) of Tullow’s business within that country.
       
   "The Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme attracted nearly 7,000 applicants last year, and more than 90 scholars were currently studying at universities in Europe.
       
   “We have a long-term commitment to our host countries, so we are very happy to be starting the second year of the scheme,” the statement stated.
       
   It noted that the Scheme is being fully managed by the British Council, which has over 40 years experience in global scholarship management, and is expected to run for the next few years as well as aligned with Tullow’s aims of supporting long-term socio-economic growth in countries where it operates.
