BASF has awarded $20,000 in college scholarships to three local students to support their pursuit of careers in chemical manufacturing, it announced. The company will pay their tuition and fees to attend Coastal Alabama Community College (CACC) and provide them with internship positions at its McIntosh, Alabama, facility this summer to participate in BASF’s Process Technology internship program. Doug Lundy, a graduate of Washington County High School, received a $10,000 scholarship to put toward his studies in chemical process technology at CACC, and Cole Blackledge and Brandon Reeves were each awarded approximately $5,000 to support their second year at CACC. BASF offers the scholarships annually and awards them based on a student’s academic accomplishments, test scores and an interview.
