YOGYAKARTA (JP): The Gajah Mada University's (UGM) school of
engineering was awarded US$10,000 by the Schlumberger Stichting
corporation on Wednesday.

The donation was delivered by the president of Schlumberger

The international company, which operates in over 100
countries, has allocated US$40,0000 to US$50,000 a year for
several universities in Indonesia.

"That excludes the scholarship given to about 10 Indonesian
students each year," Gatot Sam, employee service manager of
Schlumberger Oilfield Service Asia, said.

This year the fund goes to universities such as state-owned
Surabaya Institute of Sciences (ITS), the Institute of Technology
(ITB) in Bandung and Gajah Mada University. (swa/edt)
