OESP's Dave Nelsen Scholarship Program was established in 1999 to provide scholarships to students interested in pursuing careers in the energy service industry.

Through generous sponsors, OESP awards between three and six $5,000 scholarships each year. The association seeks sponsors willing to donate $2,500 to our worthy recipients, with OESP pleased to continually provide matching funds.

Since 1999, more than $300,000 in awards have been presented.

To be considered a candidate, applicants are required to write a 500-word essay telling the committee about themselves, including their background that has prepared them for the success in their chosen field of study. Each year, the program receives hundreds of applications that are reviewed by the trade group’s dedicated scholarship committee.
