Numerous Port Arthur and Mid County students benefited recently as Motiva Enterprises awarded scholarship funds totaling $195,000 to 36 high school graduates from Southeast Texas.

Recipients of the Motiva Excellence in Education Scholarship receive funds to aid in their pursuit of a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) or business-related undergraduate, associates, or vocational degree.

“Each year, I grow more impressed with our scholarship recipients who exhibit passion, purpose and dedication,” said Motiva President and CEO Brian Coffman. “I’ve no doubt that these students are destined for excellence and will make positive impacts in their communities and chosen professions.”

Scholarship recipients are selected based on academic achievements, extracurricular activities, community service and teacher recommendations.

To date, Motiva has awarded more than $2.5 million in higher education funds through its scholarship program.
