DCP MIDSTREAM PRESENTS NEARLY $20,000 DOLLARS IN NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Release date: 6/5/2014

DENVER, June 5, 2014 — The current growth in the U.S. natural gas sector means more pipelines are needed and additional manpower will be required to maintain them. Now, more than ever, a growing number of workers are needed to maintain and expand the natural gas infrastructure across the country. For the sixth year in a row, DCP Midstream (DCP), the nation’s largest natural gas gatherer and processor, is rewarding this next generation of energy workers and consequently investing thousands of dollars to keep the country’s energy infrastructure strongly intact.

Each DCP Career and Technical Scholarship provides a $1,500 scholarship to full-time students pursuing a degree or career in the natural gas industry at an accredited two-year college or technical institution of their choice.

“According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, natural gas production in the Americas is set to grow by 56 percent in the next 25 years,” said Chris Lewis, GVP and chief corporate officer. “We are committed to securing domestic energy for the country, and this means investing not only in the infrastructure, but in the people needed to operate that infrastructure. These students will be doing important work when they get out into the field – literally keeping the country moving forward through energy production.”

Scholarship winners must be pursuing an associate degree or career-technical certification related to the natural gas industry such as, but not limited to: machine tool technology; diesel power and heavy equipment technology; plant operations; gas technology and industrial electricity. Recipients are not required to apply at DCP upon completion of their studies, nor will they receive an advantage if they apply to DCP in the future.

The 2014 recipients of the Career and Technical Scholarship Program are:

Naomi Boyington, studying process technology at Remington College in Mobile, Alabama.

Zachary Copeland, studying diesel power and heavy equipment technology at Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

Sheila Dismuke, studying process technology at Remington College in Mobile, Alabama.

Since 2009, DCP has awarded more than 60 scholarships for a total of more than $100,000 dollars in grant money to deserving students. Scholarships are renewable for one additional year and are awarded on academic achievement, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, among other qualifications.

“DCP is responsible for more than 67,000 miles of pipeline across the U.S. That’s the equivalent of traveling between New York City and Los Angeles 11 times,” Lewis said. “What the nation demands of the men and women working to maintain our energy infrastructure is no small task and we are thrilled to play a supporting role in contributing to these future energy stewards.”
