Chevron supports educational and environmental programs in Saudi Arabia.
Chevron has played an important and ongoing role in helping found, organize, direct and fund the Saudi Petroleum Services Polytechnic in Dammam. Opened in October 2008, the polytechnic provides Saudi high school graduates with a critical resource for developing the necessary technical and vocational skills to become certified oil field support services technicians. Chevron worked closely with the country's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and the government's Technical and Vocational Training Corporation to develop the institute, the first of its kind in the kingdom.
We help sponsor ongoing beautification and greening programs in the city of Khafji.
Chevron-supported educational programs and institutions include Khafji Girls College, King Fahad University of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, local schools, and the King Abdul Aziz & His Companions Foundation for Creativeness and the Gifted. Saudi Arabian Chevron is providing university scholarships for 20 male and 20 female students through a three-year program with an annual donation of $250,000 to the foundation's Schools-Community Partnership Program.
Chevron has contributed to the King Fahad National Center for Children's Cancer and Research, various other charitable endeavors throughout the kingdom, and Saudi-supported organizations in the United States.
