For College Students

We welcome applications from students at the University of Houston, University of Houston – Downtown, Texas Women’s University, Sam Houston University, and Rice University. For application details, please visit your university’s network.

For almost 20 years, ExxonMobil Foundation has sponsored the Community Summer Jobs Program in Houston, which provides college undergraduates paid summer internships.

Students interested in participating must be currently enrolled undergraduate students returning to college full-time as a sophomore, junior, or senior in the fall following the summer program.

 The application period for local nonprofit organizations to participate in the 2024 ExxonMobil Foundation Community Summer Jobs Program is now closed.  Please check back towards the end of the year for information on applying for the 2025 program.
