Hispanic Scholarship Fund Scholars Program

Marathon and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) have partnered to create the Marathon Oil Corporation/HSF Corporate Scholars Program. The Program is designed to reduce the financial barriers for minority students with high academic promise and significant financial need; increase the representation of minorities in the chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, health, environment and safety, geology and geophysics disciplines; and allow Marathon to develop relationships with minority students to increase the Company's entry-level pool of prospective minority employees.

The Program

The Corporate Scholars Program provides educational opportunities for Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Pacific Islander Americans and American Indians/Alaska Natives through scholarships of up to $10,000; possible 8- to 10-week summer internships at various Marathon field and office locations across the globe; and transportation and housing stipends of up to $4,000.

As part of the possible internships, each student will be paired with a mentor, exposing the students to outstanding examples of achievement and to career- and leadership-building opportunities. During the summer, in addition to working closely together, mentors and interns will be encouraged to spend informal time together participating in recreational and cultural activities to build and nurture relationships that will endure throughout each student's educational career and beyond.

Marathon is seeking sophomore applicants majoring in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, geology, geophysics, marketing, accounting, global procurement or supply chain management, environmental health & safety, energy management or petroleum land management, transportation & logistics and geotechnical engineering.

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund

The HSF is the nation's leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education. HSF was founded in 1975 with a vision to strengthen the country by advancing college education among Hispanic Americans - the largest minority segment of the U.S. population. In support of its mission to double the rate of Hispanics earning college degrees, HSF provides the Latino community more college scholarships and educational outreach support than any other organization in the country.

Headquartered in San Francisco, HSF has opened regional offices in Southern California, the Southwest, the Northeast, the Southeast and the Midwest. In addition, HSF launched the Washington, D.C.-based Hispanic Scholarship Fund Institute to generate public partnerships in support of its work. During its 30-year history, HSF has awarded more than 78,000 scholarships totaling nearly $195 million to Latinos from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam who have attended more than 1,700 colleges and universities.
