University of Tulsa alumna Barbara J. King received a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering in 1982 and went on to pursue a satisfying and rewarding career in the field of petroleum engineering.

King is the daughter of George and Frances Young, longtime residents of Tulsa who have supported King throughout her life in ways too numerous to mention, not the least of which was to encourage her in her education.

King wishes to honor her parents by promoting opportunity in higher education in the technical fields.

In fulfillment of this wish, Barbara J. King has committed an estate gift to The University of Tulsa to establish The George & Frances Young Engineering and Natural Sciences Scholarship Endowment Fund.
