Apoyo a los estudiantes que sirven

En Southeast Gas, creemos en el poder de la educación y en el reconocimiento a los estudiantes que retribuyen. Es por eso que ofrecemos la Beca de Servicio Comunitario, que se otorga anualmente a los estudiantes del último año de la escuela secundaria que demuestran un fuerte compromiso con el liderazgo, los estudios y el servicio comunitario.

En 2025, concedimos con orgullo 25 becas a estudiantes destacados de toda nuestra área de servicio del sureste de Alabama.
