The ExxonMobil Middle Eastern Scholars Program is a highly competitive scholarship program which provides select student leaders from the Middle East and North Africa with a fully-funded scholarship towards the completion of a degree at a college or university in the United States.

While the inaugural year of the ExxonMobil Middle Eastern Scholars Program offers scholarship opportunities to pursue a master's degree in geoscience for students who have at least a bachelor's degree in chemistry, engineering, geography, geoscience, mathematics or physics, future expansion to other fields of study is currently under consideration.

Recipients of the Middle Eastern Scholars Program receive:

• Full graduate tuition to attend a U.S. university
• Visa and academic support
• Housing and living expenses while in the U.S.
• Transportation to the U.S. at the beginning of the program and return to home country at the completion of the program
• Pre-academic training
• Medical insurance while in the U.S.
