Gain Direct Access to Top-Tier Students
As a WFI partner, your company participates in student events, activities, meetings and presentations that allow you to personally get to know and recruit talent at one of the best engineering programs in the country. Your support inspires brand loyalty among UT PGE students, particularly those who have received financial assistance from your company.
“UT PGE’s relationships with oil and gas companies provide students with better access to opportunities and internships. Personally, through these relationships, I have been able to engage with different companies, secure a summer internship, and allocate more time to activities and student organizations that will further my career. When I graduate, I hope to use my knowledge and skills to help change the petroleum industry for the better by implementing more sustainable options.”

Increase Corporate Visibility Within the Community
Partnering with UT PGE as a WFI supporter enhances your brand among students, faculty and alumni across the world, while also raising awareness among younger college-bound students. Students who receive support have scholarships named after your company — the higher your support level, the more named company scholarships. Your company is also recognized at department events and on digital and printed materials.
