Since 1962, ExxonMobil Foundation has been matching employee contributions to qualified colleges and universities 3:1. The Foundation is the primary philanthropic arm of the ExxonMobil Corporation and its subsidiaries in the United States.

“The ExxonMobil Foundation has a long history of supporting a range of efforts to improve the quality of education in the United States, “said Suzanne McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation. “We are proud to build upon the generous support of ExxonMobil employees who are committed to investing in the future of young Americans.”

On July 18, Laura Paredes and Kim Gray from XTO Energy, one of ExxonMobil’s subsidiaries, presented the Midland College Foundation with a check for $22,500. These funds will be used to support the MC energy technology program and for MC math and science programs that support student engagement.
