Bangkok — ExxonMobil Limited continues its commitment to strengthening Thailand’s human capital by supporting education for the 43rd year through the “ExxonMobil Rattanakosin Bicentennial Education Fund.” For the 2025 academic year, the company awarded 20 scholarships totaling 400,000 baht to undergraduate students with outstanding academic performance who need financial assistance, focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields that are critical to national development and the future energy transition.
Established in 1982 through collaboration between ExxonMobil and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), the fund has provided over 2,200 scholarships totaling more than 17.8 million baht. The initiative has helped students across the country complete their studies and move into stable careers.
Developing youth – A foundation for the future of energy
Dr. Taweesak Bunluesin, Public and Government Affairs Manager at ExxonMobil Limited, said the fund aims to support students facing financial challenges so they can complete their education and pursue their ambitions.
“Many students struggle with family responsibilities and financial pressure. This support not only helps relieve their expenses but also gives them confidence that there are adults who believe in their abilities. When they grow into quality citizens, we hope they will give back to society,” Dr. Taweesak said.
MHESI praises the long-term collaboration that helps reduce inequality
Ms. Varaporn Rungtrakarn, Deputy Permanent Secretary of MHESI, emphasized that advancing education in Thailand requires cooperation from all sectors, especially the private sector, which brings flexibility and a strong commitment to developing young talent.
“ExxonMobil has worked with us continuously for many years and refines the process annually to ensure scholarships reach students as quickly as possible. We deeply appreciate their dedication and meaningful contributions to reducing educational inequality.” she said.
This year’s support also included a special Global Outlook lecture, offering students insights into global energy trends and the role of innovation driven by STEM knowledge in shaping the future energy landscape.
Committed to building a sustainable society of opportunity
The “ExxonMobil Rattanakosin Bicentennial Education Fund” is a significant example of long-term investment in human capital, an essential foundation for sustainable development. With over four decades of public and private sector collaboration, the fund reflects ExxonMobil’s dedication to empowering young people and creating opportunities for them to help advance Thailand’s economy and future energy system.
