ExxonMobil has a long history of supporting educational programs that focus on improvements in math and science from pre-school to higher education. They believe it is fundamentally important to encourage the next generation to pursue studies and careers involving these two fields.
Programs like this allow ExxonMobil retailers like Kwik Chek and McCraw Oil Company to invest in the future of their community through educational grants to neighborhood schools. This is the 14th consecutive year for the program promoting the importance of education throughout the United States.
