Two deserving students, Dianna Persaud and Kavita Singh, have embarked on their higher education dreams at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, a public university located in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Noble Corporation, a critical drilling company for Exxon’s Guyana operations, has awarded these two young talents fully paid four-year scholarships, paving the way for them to earn bachelor’s degrees in Maritime Transportation.
The selection process for this prestigious scholarship was rigorous, with over a hundred applicants vying for the opportunity. To secure their spots, candidates had to meet specific qualifications and submit compelling essays outlining the purpose of their candidacy, Noble explained in a LinkedIn post. Among the sea of talented individuals, Persaud and Singh emerged as the recipients of this life-changing opportunity.
Persaud and Singh will also have the chance to gain hands-on experience as interns next summer, with the Noble family.
