Representatives from Questar Corporation presented Western Wyoming Community College with a $20,000 donation. The gift will provide scholarships in the Oil and Gas Production Technology, Instrumentation and Electronics Technology, and Natural Gas Compression Technology Programs. After the scholarships are awarded, any remaining donation balance will be used to fund building or special project needs of the three programs.

Terry Nimmo and Steve Christiansen presented the donation to WWCC President, Dr. Tex Boggs Wednesday at the College’s Community Career Fair. The gift will be renewable indefinitely, providing improvements and scholarships well into the future.

“We were looking to find the best way to give to the college and get something back too,” Christiansen said. Questar plans to hire several interns each year through the scholarship program.

So far, Questar has already hired four Western graduates. “We’re thrilled with the graduates we’ve hired,” Christiansen added. “They’re well-trained and ready to go to work. It’s a win-win situation for us and Western.”
