The Houston GPA Midstream Association has established two Houston GPA Midstream Association Scholarships, both annual and endowed, to provide scholarships to full-time students pursuing a degree in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
The Houston GPA Midstream Association is a 501C nonprofit organization committed to serve as a forum for exchanging ideas and information regarding the midstream industry (transportation of oil and gas) and provide opportunities for social interaction with others involved in the industry in the local Houston area.
David Street, Houston GPA Midstream scholarship chair, said the organization is one of six regional U.S. based chapters associated with the national GPA Midstream Association, with an additional three internationally.
“Our organization works to support and promote the use of natural gas as an energy source by being primary advocates for a sustainable midstream industry focused on enhancing the viability of natural gas and natural gas liquids,” said Street. “Providing scholarships to universities whose graduates have historically worked in the midstream industry is essential to bringing students into the energy sector who may at some point enter the midstream business in their career.”
Street said the organization has been supporting Texas A&M, Rice University, Lamar University, the University of Houston and The University of Texas for over 30 years, recently adding Texas A&M University at Kingsville in the last five years. “In 2002, we established endowments of equal size at each of the initial five universities then in 2016 brought Texas A&M Kingsville onboard with an endowment as well,” he said.
The Houston GPA Midstream Association recently expanded their scholarship offerings.
“In addition to periodic contributions to our endowments, we also give out annual scholarships,” said Street. “This allows the chapter to provide scholarships to students who may not meet the annual and endowment scholarship requirements, but deserve a scholarship nonetheless.”
