Who We Are & What We Do
Our History
What began as a round of golf before the 2005 Subsea Tieback (SSTB) Forum became the spark that ignited the creation of the Subsea Tieback Foundation. The idea grew rapidly, and in 2006, a board of directors was formed and established as a separate legal entity under the official name Subsea Tieback Scholarship Fund.
