The bp Net Zero Scholarship is an initiative launched by bp, a global energy company, to support students who are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. The scholarship program aims to empower and invest in the next generation of leaders who are passionate about finding solutions to address climate change and achieve a net-zero carbon future.
Through the bp Net Zero Scholarship, selected students receive financial support to pursue their education in fields related to energy, sustainability, environmental science, engineering, and other relevant disciplines. The scholarship funds can be used to cover tuition fees, research expenses, living costs, or other educational expenses associated with their studies.
In addition to financial support, recipients of the bp Net Zero Scholarship gain access to mentorship, networking opportunities, and career development resources. They have the chance to engage with professionals and experts in the energy industry, participate in bp-sponsored events and workshops, and collaborate on projects aimed at advancing sustainability goals.

By investing in students who are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and society, bp aims to foster innovation and accelerate progress towards a sustainable and inclusive future for all.
As bp progresses towards its net-zero goals, the company demonstrates its commitment to collaboration by supporting the Net Zero Scholarship program. This initiative aims to identify and engage with young innovators who are reshaping the energy landscape for the betterment of people and the planet.
