Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery Community Advisory Panel Awards Scholarships to Local Seniors

ROXANA - The Community Advisory Panel (CAP) of the Wood River Refinery, operated by Phillips 66, recently awarded scholarships to five area high school seniors.

The scholarships, in the amount of $1,000 each, are designed to help students offset the cost of tuition at a community college, university or technical school. To participate in the scholarship contest, high school seniors were required to have demonstrated drive, commitment and leadership within the community.

“Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery and our Community Advisory Panel would like to congratulate our scholarship recipients along with all the students of the Class of 2020. This year, the applications for the scholarship were incredibly strong which demonstrates the students in this graduating class will persevere no matter what challenges are put before them,” said Melissa Erker, Director of Government and Community Relations.

The scholarship recipients are selected by members of the Phillips 66 Community Advisory Panel. Each student not only demonstrates academic achievements and drive, but also works hard to give back to their community through various service opportunities. Since the establishment of the Wood River Refinery Community Advisory Panel Scholarship in 2008, more than $50,000 have been awarded to area students.

The CAP, comprised of 22 community members and seven Phillips 66 employees, was established in 2003 to facilitate communications and information sharing between the refinery and local communities. The CAP meets monthly, but also hosts special events in the community.
