The ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program is designed to provide Exxon and Mobil retailers with an opportunity to invest in the future of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood schools. ExxonMobil believes that, as members of the community, local retailers are best qualified to work with local educators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support.

Joe Bob’s Convience Store’s and Super Handy Convenience Store’s met stringent eligibility criteria before applying for and being awarded the grants, including having a commitment to provide a superior buying experience for customers.
