Chevron Scholarship Fund - Oil and Gas

The Chevron Scholarship Fund – Oil and Gas is awarded to students enrolled in UNC’s new Oil & Gas Accounting class. To qualify for this opportunity, the applicant must be a student in Monfort’s College of Business and enrolled in UNC’s new Oil & Gas Accounting class. UNC’s new Oil & Gas Accounting class is preparing students to fill an essential training gap to better serve the region’s $48B energy industry. Colorado is the 4th largest oil-producing state in the country and Weld County is the dominant contributor, responsible for more than 80% of the state’s oil and gas in 2024. Recognizing there is a shortage of students coming out of accounting programs with any exposure or special insight into oil and gas accounting practices, UNC’s Monfort College of Business created this specialized course to help meet industry needs.

By tailoring the curriculum to meet local workforce demand, the course distinguishes UNC graduates from those in traditional programs. Students leave not only with a strong financial foundation, but with a specialized fluency in the energy sector – preparation that is expected to result in increased internships and jobs with local energy partners.
