Arctic Directory: ExxonMobil, employees donate $100K to fund

ExxonMobil said May 21 that it has donated more than $100,000 in support of the American Indian College Fund. The donation extends ExxonMobil’s partnership with the fund dating back to 1988 and will provide scholarships, sponsorship and administrative support to the organization. Part of the grant will be used to continue the ExxonMobil Foundation Tribal College Scholarship Program, which offers funds for Native American students studying science, technology, engineering and math at tribal colleges. Another portion is provided through the ExxonMobil Educational Matching Gift Program, one of the most generous of its kind in the U.S. Through this program, ExxonMobil matches 3:1 the contributions of company employees, retirees, surviving spouses and directors.

For 20 years, ExxonMobil Tribal College Scholarship Program has provided financial assistance to American Indian students pursuing advanced degrees. Since 2003, ExxonMobil has assisted almost 250 American Indian students from more than 45 tribes in reaching their highest education goals. For more information visit www.exxonmobil.com.
