Okmulgee, OK -- Some students won't have to worry about finding a job when they graduate. That's because OSU's Institute of Technology in Okmulgee says its Natural Gas Compression Program has a 100% employment rate.

Thanks to a $150,000 check today, more students can get help paying for classes. The Gas Processors Supplies Association raised half the money and the Bartlett family here in Tulsa matched the donation.

"Students will not only have this money available to them now, but because we're putting it into an endowment it will draw interest.  Students generations from now will be able to participate in this scholarship fund." said Steve Doede, OSU Division Chair.

About thirty students graduate from the program each year.
