Auto Prep Center in Shawano recently announced that Shawano Community High School is the recipient of this year’s ExxonMobil Educational Alliance Grant.
In 11 of the past 12 years, Auto Prep has been able to secure grant monies to supplement science and technology programs at local schools. This year’s award of $500 brings the total to nearly $6,000 that the fuel retailer has secured.
Work on the grant began last spring, with the identification of possible projects and SCHS indicating it was willing to accept a grant. Only Exxon retailers that maintain favorable rankings in their store operations are eligible to apply.
“Our schools work hard to make learning interesting and fun,” Pat Trinko of Auto Prep said. “We are proud to be a part of this program and to assist in that pursuit.”
The ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program was designed to provide Exxon retailers an opportunity to invest in the future of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood schools. Local retailers such as Auto Prep are allowed to work directly with educators to identify schools and programs in need of support.
