Affirming its commitment to shaping the future engineering talent of the country, Honeywell announced scholarships to 20 Vietnamese students majoring in chemical engineering across leading universities in Viet Nam.

This is the 5^th year that Honeywell has sponsored the scholarship programme.  In addition to the Ha Noi University of Science, HCM City University of Technology and PetroVietnam University, the scholarships this year will also include students from the Da Nang University of Science and Technology.

“Not only does this scholarship provide funds for the students’ education but they also get to work with our engineers and experts,” said Jim Rekoske, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Honeywell UOP.

“The 8-week internship was a valuable opportunity for me to gain the latest knowledge and experience from a leading company in petroleum engineering,” said Dinh Thi Ha Phuong, student at HCM City University of Technology, and one of the students who completed the internship at Honeywell UOP last summer.

Honeywell UOP also provides an annual lecture series on refining and petrochemicals to 12 leading universities across Viet Nam, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia, as well as Myanmar, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Honeywell started operations in Viet Nam in 2005, with offices set up in both Ha Noi and HCM City.

Technologies from Honeywell UOP are being used in PetroVietnam’s Dung Quất Refinery, the first refinery to be built in Viet Nam, and many others.
