HOUSTON — Two students from the local area are among the 50 high school seniors who will receive a $16,000 college scholarship from the Phillips 66 Dependent Scholarship Program. The competitive program awards outstanding college-bound students whose parents work for Phillips 66 or one of its subsidiaries.

The company announced two students from the Ponca City area as honorees this year:

Caleb Edens of Ponca City, OK, son of Phillips 66 employee Jim Edens, senior at Ponca City High School.

Bayleigh Hudgens of Ponca City, OK, daughter of Phillips 66 employee Marshall Hudgens, senior at Ponca City High School.

“Even in these unique times, Phillips 66 remains committed to the value of higher education and ensuring success for future generations through our scholarship program,” said Claudia Kreisle, Phillips 66 manager of Social Impact. “We congratulate Caleb and Bayleigh on their achievements inside and outside the classroom and wish them every success in college.”

The awards are based on academic excellence, community service and financial need. The scholarship is another example of the company’s vision of improving lives and supporting the communities where we live and operate.

Scholarship America, a neutral, third-party administrator of educational assistance programs, selects the recipients and manages the program for Phillips 66.
