scholarships

Since 2004 the Chevron Richmond Black Employee Network (BEN) has awarded scholarships to deserving high school students from the West Contra Costa Unified School District. Funding for the scholarships is provided by Chevron Richmond Corporate Affairs in partnership with the Richmond Black History Awareness Celebration (BHAC) Committee. The scholarship is given in honor of Dr. William F. King. Dr. King is a distinguished African American Chemical Engineer and Chevron employee of 27+ years (retired 2003). He has also served as a Chevron recruiter, mentor and community activist.
