Scholarship program builds on a decade of investment in local education

Lake Charles, La. - Sasol has awarded $100,000 in scholarships to 10 high school seniors graduating from Calcasieu Parish School Board (CPSB) high schools through the Sasol Scholars Program.  Students will receive $2,500 annually to assist with educational expenses, in addition to opportunities to network with professionals, tour Sasol's operations and receive special consideration for Sasol internship and recruitment activities.

"The Sasol Scholars Program puts high school graduates on a path to long-term success by helping with the cost of pursuing higher education, introducing students to career options they may not have known about before and preparing them to enter the workforce," CPSB Superintendent Dr. Shannon LaFargue said.

The Sasol Scholars Program builds on the company's commitment to meaningful community investment and helping local students achieve success. Sasol's education programs support students at each step of their journey from classroom to career, beginning with mentorship of elementary students through its Partners in Education program and extending through college and career preparation.
