Adam Ferrari Announces 2025 Phoenix Energy Scholarship Winner

Phoenix Energy is proud to award its 2025 Phoenix Energy Scholarship to Brody Patton, an incoming Petroleum Engineering student at Texas Tech University. The $15,000 scholarship recognizes Patton’s outstanding academic performance, dedication to the energy industry, and vision for responsible innovation in oil and gas.

Raised in northeast Texas, Patton’s passion for energy runs deep, inspired by a family legacy in oil and gas and early experiences through FFA and 4-H. His goal: to develop engineering solutions that increase efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and prepare the industry for the future.

“Phoenix Energy’s scholarship is not just an investment in me, but is also an act of faith in the future,” said Patton. “Through their generous support, I will be able to join others at Texas Tech University in obtaining a quality education, mentorship, and experience that will position me to make a real and lasting difference. I aspire to not only improve how we extract and use energy, but also help shape the future of an industry. I am deeply grateful to Phoenix Energy for this honor.”

Phoenix Energy CEO Adam Ferrari praised Patton not only for his academic accomplishments, but also for his grounded vision.

“Brody’s story reflects both a respect for the industry’s roots and a clear vision for its future,” said Ferrari. “His commitment to responsible innovation is exactly what this scholarship is meant to encourage.”

The Phoenix Energy Scholarship is part of the company’s FUEL Program (Fostering Unity, Empowering Leadership), which invests in future energy leaders through education, mentorship, and support.
