Students from throughout Texas will compete for science scholarships at

in Texas, this year′s meeting is expected to attract more than 10,000

'ExxonMobil recognizes the essential role that proficiency in math and
science plays to address the challenges the world faces - not just in
energy, but agriculture, medicine, computing and many other important
fields,? said Stuart Jeffries, operations manager for Texas, ExxonMobil
Production Company. 'Texas FFA not only enhances students′ knowledge of
science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but it also fosters
leadership and citizenship in our community. We proudly support their
efforts.?

FFA students in grades 7 through 12 from all over the state will compete
in five categories including biochemistry, microbiology and food
science; environmental sciences; zoology; botany; and engineering.
Winners in each category and division will be awarded a $1,000
scholarship and will advance to the National FFA Agriscience Fair held
in conjunction with the National FFA Convention in October in
Indianapolis, Indiana.

This year′s convention marks the fifth consecutive year of ExxonMobil′s
title sponsorship of the Texas FFA Agriscience competition. Since 2005,
the company has donated over $110,000 to agriscience fairs, contests and
environmental programs.
