G.W. Anderson Oil and Gas Scholarship

The G.W. Anderson Oil and Gas Scholarship is provided through the generosity of the Anderson Hatch Foundation and the law firm of Holland & Hart LLP. It honors G.W. Anderson, a pioneer in Utah’s oil and gas industry–who was well known for his dedication, hard-work, and love for his community.

The scholarship was designed to introduce students to the oil and gas industry. The summer internship at Holland & Hart LLP will include a broad exposure to oil and gas law, such as preparing industry agreements, chaining title documents, conducting due diligence on large-scale transactions, and researching complex regulatory issues. Beyond oil and gas, the scholarship is an ideal opportunity for a student interested in pursuing a legal career in real estate, mergers and acquisitions, or natural resources.
