Priority will be given to schools with high-needs student populations, ensuring equitable educational opportunities and workforce preparedness for future generations.

Overview

PLTW Engineering - Program Expansion (Phillips 66) Phillips 66 invests in expanding access to quality education, because literacy and workforce preparedness are the foundation of individual achievement and our economic future. To help strengthen the future STEM workforce, we support academic training and educational opportunities that encourage broader participation, especially among students who have historically had fewer opportunities in these fields. Middle school is a time of exploration, a time when students are figuring out what they're passionate about today and how that relates to who they'll become tomorrow. Phillips 66 has partnered with Project Lead The Way to support PLTW Gateway programs in middle schools and Engineering and Computer Science in high schools in Phillips 66 communities. PLTW courses empower students to experience and see a range of STEM pathways and possibilities in high school and beyond. Through this partnership, Phillips 66 is supporting PLTW grants to schools interested in starting and expanding PLTW programs beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year. Preference will be given to schools with majority high-need student population as determined by percent of students eligible for the free and reduced lunch program.
