The following guidelines describe the Chevron U.S. (Recognizing Excellence and ACHievement) Scholarship Program which is sponsored by Chevron for the children of its employees and retirees. The program was established to recognize and assist outstanding students who plan to enroll full-time at an accredited two- or four- year college, university or vocational-technical school.
This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Applicants to the Chevron U.S. REACH Scholarship Program must:
This includes children of retired employees, and domestic partners’ children who live with the employee (who must meet and continue to meet all of the criteria detailed in Chevron’s “Affadavit of Domestic Partnership” and be internally registered with Chevron by having filed an Affadavit of Domestic Chevron Partnership that has been accepted by Chevron). To be eligibile for the REACH program, children of U.S.-payroll retirees must have either a minimum of 75 points as calculated by Human Resources, or 20 years of service prior to retirement. Additionally, the retiree must not be employed at a competitor energy company.

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $1,500 to $2,000 per year where financial need is demonstrated; $2,000 each to attend a four-year college; $1,500 each to attend a two-year college or vocational-technical school. Qualified students demonstrating no financial need are eligible for a one-time honorarium.
Four-year college or university awards are renewable up to three times. Two-year college and vocational-technical school awards are renewable one time. Renewal is contingent upon a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in a full-time course of study, continued parental employment and continuation of the program by Chevron.
Provided there are qualified applicants, at least 50% of awards will be granted to students majoring in a STEM field.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is assessed to determine the amount of each award. Recipients who do not demonstrate relative financial need or whose parents choose not to supply the requested financial information will be eligible to receive a one-time $2,000 honorarium. Recognition of all scholarship recipients will be the same regardless of the award amount.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Chevron play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
All applicants will be notified in late April. The Chevron U.S. REACH Scholarship Program is a very competitive program; not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Chevron. Payment is mailed to the recipient’s home address in one installment in August with a check made payable to the school. The award may be used to pay for tuition, fees, books, supplies, or other related educational expenses. Please note that due to the impact that scholarship deferment requests are having on scholarship budget, requests for scholarship deferments will not be approved unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Recipients have no obligation to Chevron. They are, however, required to notify Scholarship America of any changes in address, school enrollment, Chevron parent employment status, or other relevant information, and to send a complete official transcript when requested.
Chevron reserves the right to review the conditions and procedures of this scholarship program and to make changes at any time including termination of the program.
