ExxonMobil:

-- Students from Cornell University, Michigan State University,

Southwest Missouri State University and University of Arkansas

Awarded Scholarships

for Their Unique Perspectives on the

Changing Landscape of Agriculture

Underscoring its commitment to education and the agriculture marketplace, ExxonMobil today announced the winners of its 2003 "Mobilfluid 424 Scholarship" program, a unique initiative which awarded four students $4,000 scholarships to help further their education. The students are pursuing degrees at accredited U.S. college agricultural schools.

The winners -- Chris Eggerman of Southwest Missouri State University ('04), Kristen Evatt of University of Arkansas ('08), Emily Hurtgen of Cornell University ('06) and Cortney Peissig of Michigan State University ('04) -- were selected by a panel of agriculture industry experts.

The theme for the 2003 program was "The Changing Landscape of Agriculture." Scholarship recipients were chosen based on their responses to one of three written essay categories, or a fourth photo-essay category.

"ExxonMobil is proud to honor these exceptional students with our Mobilfluid 424 Scholarships and assist them with their studies," said Ken Cicora, lubricants marketing advisor, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties. "We were truly impressed with each student's knowledge of the agriculture industry and their thoughtful examination of how to improve its current landscape."

ExxonMobil will again offer "Mobilfluid 424 Scholarships" in 2004 to students attending an accredited U.S. college agricultural program. Applications, essay themes and deadlines for the 2004 program will be announced shortly at www.mobil.com/agri.
