BASF recently awarded $20,000 in college scholarships to two local students. The scholarships cover tuition and fees at Alabama Southern Community College (ASCC) for four semesters. In addition, BASF offered both students summer internship positions at the McIntosh site.
Jaylon Busby, a rising freshman at ASCC and graduate of Fruitdale High School and Zane Warr, a sophomore at ASCC and graduate of Millry High School, were both awarded scholarships valued at approximately $10,000 each toward their studies in chemical process technology.
“BASF is dedicated to providing local students with opportunities to pursue careers in the chemical industry,” said George Vann, Vice President of the BASF site in McIntosh. “Through our scholarships and internship opportunities, we are pleased to play a role in fostering the future leadership of our industry.”
BASF’s McIntosh site offers two-year scholarships annually for students participating in the chemical process technology program at ASCC in Thomasville. The two-year degree program prepares students for jobs in the chemical industry. Scholarships are awarded based on a student’s academic accomplishment, testing, and an interview.
During their internship, Busby and Warr will complete shift work and participate in supervised, on-the-job activities that include working with operators who focus on unit reliability. The students will prepare equipment for maintenance activities such as cleaning and isolation.
