Because of his successful career, Jim felt he needed and also wanted to honor his 50-year Mines reunion by creating an endowed fellowship. The 50th reunion is the big one, and I m looking forward to coming back to Mines this May for the festivities, seeing the campus and renewing old friendships. I m at a place in my life where, fortunately, I m financially able to give back to the School what it has been so generous in giving me. I appreciate how much this assistance will help students at Mines, says Jim, and I feel fortunate to be able to repay the School. Individually, endowed fellowships such as Daniels recognize outstanding students and assure them of monetary support to pursue their studies through graduation.
Fellowships can cover tuition, fees, books and other legitimate academic expenses.
In many families, adding to a scholarship or fellowship fund established years ago has become a multigenerational tradition. Mines contributed immeasurably to my interest and success in the field of oil and gas exploration and production. Perhaps this fellowship will allow others the same opportunity this great School afforded me.
