When/how will students be notified of awards? Students who receive scholarships will be notified by email before Dec 1. A single combined award letter/check for all students at each school will be sent to the school's petroleum engineering admin who is then required to deliver the check to the financial aid dept.

What if I already submitted an application for AADE Scholarship for another chapter? Each chapter has its own scholarship program. You must apply for the DFW program to be considered for a DFW scholarship.

Do I have to be a US Citizen? Yes
What if I have a Visa or a Green card? You cannot apply. You must be a U.S. Citizen. Special cases have been made for those with green cards/visas who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
