EMERG Scholarships Open September 1
PLEASE NOTE THE UPDATED TIMELINE FOR THE 2026 SCHOLARSHIP CYCLE! Joshua Lake, Auburn University, who attended the coaching sessions in Nashville, shared:
"I had a great experience at the coaching sessions in Nashville. It was a valuable opportunity to receive personalized advice and connect with professionals who genuinely wanted to support my growth. I was very pleased to be able to connect with professionals who work in the upstream and downstream sectors of the industry and learn how that compares to midstream corrosion prevention."
