Southeast Petro and ExxonMobil Support Schools

Southeast Petro Distributors provides nearly $30,000 in grant money to K-12 Schools through the “ExxonMobil Educational Alliance” 

Florida – Southeast Petro and ExxonMobil team up every year to cut checks to local K-12 schools in order to help the educational institutions grow their math and science departments for their students. The Educational Alliance Grant Program is an opportunity for local Branded Marketers like Southeast Petro to support their neighborhood schools. The schools nearest to an Exxon™ or Mobil™ gas station supplied by the company are the ones chosen to receive the grant. 

ExxonMobil established the Educational Alliance Grant Program in 1999. To qualify for the program, Southeast Petro is required to nominate each of their locations within a very short window of time. The oil giant only grants $2 Million in awards on a first-come-first-serve basis, and once submissions are opened, Branded Marketers nationwide must compete to earn the funds for their network.

Southeast Petro has qualified for the Educational Alliance Grant Program for several years, and despite the stringent criteria, always earns funds for 100% of their ExxonMobil network. Today, the company has 58 Exxon™ or Mobil™ gas stations throughout the State of Florida. Each station was able to cut a local school a $500 check to go toward math or science expenses. The Southeast Petro team hand delivers these checks to the schools personally, where they can meet the Principal and ensure that they know that their local Exxon or Mobil station supports them.

Some schools took to social media to express their gratitude and enthusiasm for being recipients of the program. Oak Park Middle School posted [link] in part, “…Thank you so much…for Oak Park’s selection as a 2017 Educational Alliance Math and Science grant recipient from ExxonMobil #wherepassionmeetspurpose.” While another posted [link], in part, “…Southeast Petro/Exxon Mobil presented…a $500 check for the math and science departments today. Thank you for supporting Destin Middle School.”

Southeast Petro is proud to take part in such a rewarding and beneficial program for our community and the young leaders of tomorrow. Math and science are imperative to the curriculum of our schools and should be afforded the opportunity to thrive in every single one of our educational institutions. With the Educations Alliance Grant, our local schools will be further equipped to expand their programs.
