The first four Guyanese students in the CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited (CPGL) Scholarship Programme are travelling to China on Friday to commence their degree programmes for the 2023-2024 academic year.

A release yesterday from CNOOC noted that Nechemiyah Levans, Aria Matthews, Ishika Singh and Nazeela Williams were officially awarded their fully funded degree scholarships in a ceremony at the CPGL Head Office, Kingston in July.

The initiative, funded by CPGL, is part of a programme with the Ministry of Natural Resources to award ten petroleum science-related undergraduate degree scholarships over the next three years.
