In 1981, Fluor established the scholarship program to encourage employees' children to continue their education following secondary school, to honor them for their achievements, and to assist them in financing that education. Now, more than 35 years later, each of us, in some way, is the beneficiary of the chosen professions of our many recipients.

Since the inception of the Fluor Scholarship Program for Employees' Children in 1981, Fluor has assisted 3,353 students with undergraduate scholarships and disbursed more than $15.6 million. The program currently has more than 202 renewal scholarships.

Supporting education is a Fluor tradition that not only directly impacts the employee and their family, but our communities. Fields such as medicine, international relations, engineering, political science, accounting, music, theater, broadcast journalism, communication, computer science, religion, history, economics, and animal science, are a few of the chosen studies and professions our recipients are pursuing.

Some 1,500 elementary students from Eastern Idaho converged on Idaho Falls Zoo to experience wonders of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) subjects in ways they never would be able to in a classroom. Animals at the zoo shared the spotlight with 20 different learning stations staffed by area professionals. Subjects included chromatography, photosynthesis, electricity, physics, mechanical engineering, and hydrology. This year, the program also added art as it is another important piece of well-rounded educational opportunity.

"We are incredibly fortunate to have community minded companies like Fluor Idaho here to help support these important learning events," said Idaho Falls Zoo Education Curator Sunny Katseanes. "It is challenging for any one institution or organization to put on these types of events, but working together we help enhance and improve the educational opportunities for students in eastern Idaho."

The Great Race for Education is an important fund-raising event for the College of Eastern Idaho. This is the main fund-raising mechanism to provide scholarships for the EITC Center for New Directions and other non-traditional students, such as a parent going back to school to re-enter the workforce, an individual seeking to change careers, or changing careers. There are two elements to the "Race Day" physical endurance and brains. Teams of runners search for clues scattered around Idaho Falls, and teams of owners figure out the clues. Fluor Idaho is a corporate sponsor of the event and sponsors a team.
