[Program for Mastery in Engineering Studies]

*       Please note that this is not a scholarship administered by the PROMES program. Therefore, this scholarship is not related to the BP UH Camp Scholarship that some of you may have received. That scholarship is a one-time award for freshmen who attended a UH Engineering summer camp and are in the top 10% of their HS graduating class.

BP Scholarships






University of Houston

Our commitment to the University of Houston remains unchanged as our industry continues to evolve.  Over the last several years we have financially invested in the university through a variety of activities including scholarship programming.  BP remains committed to scholarship funding, though the process will change as we look to centralize and provide a consistent selection process and student experience for all recipients of BP scholarships.

Moving forward, BP Scholars will be administered through a third party, International Scholarship and Tuition Services, Inc. (ISTS).  ISTS will allow students to apply and track their application status, upload necessary documents, and will manage the distribution of funds to our recipients.   Below is additional information about the BP Scholars program.  We welcome your support in sharing this great opportunity with your students.
