ExxonMobil Donation to Benefit Academic Programs
– Maileen Hamto, Assistant Director of Public Relations
As part of a $1.9 million program benefitting 105 colleges and
universities, ExxonMobil presented Rice University with a check
for $36,500 October 31, 2000.
The funds will be divided among departments in the George R. Brown
School of Engineering, the Wiess School of Natural Sciences, and
the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management. ExxonMobil allows
the departments to use their discretion in supporting their educational
activities. Past grants have supported scholarships, visiting speakers,
equipment purchases, and faculty and student travel to national
conferences, among other things. ExxonMobil bases the amount of
the grants provided on many factors, including the number of ExxonMobil
employees from a particular school and the company’s recruiting
success at the school over the past five years.
The Departmental Grants Program represents only a part of ExxonMobil’s
overall support of education, which last year totaled more than
$40 million.
