In 2015, Exxon Mobil Corporation is providing $2 million in grants to 78 colleges and universities nationwide including Cornell University through the Departmental Grants Program. This year the College of Engineering was presented a check for $23,000. This represents unrestricted funding for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering and Operations Research and Information Engineering.
This unrestricted grant allows the academic departments to allocate funds for education programs and projects deemed most appropriate at the institution. In the past, grants have funded scholarships, field trips, visiting speakers, equipment purchases, student and faculty travel to academic-related activities and other educational projects.
During the last 10 years, Exxon Mobil Corporation has provided more than $20 million dollars to higher education institutions through the program. Exxon Mobil Corporation awards these grants to institutions offering degrees in subjects from which it recruits employees. Cornell University and the College of Engineering thank ExxonMobil for their continued support.
