Donald and Dolores Morris Scholarship

This scholarship was established by James M. and Karen S. Morris. James earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois in 1981, then began a long and successful career with ExxonMobil. By the time he retired as chief facilities engineer for ExxonMobil Upstream, he was responsible for the global application of facilities technologies, career development for engineers, and planning key strategic initiatives. James and Karen endowed this scholarship in 2024 to honor the memory of James’ parents, Donald and Dolores, whose dream was for their children to go to college.
