Gallons for Grades™

At Tesoro, our dedication to our local communities includes a strong commitment to education.

That’s why Tesoro launched Gallons for Grades™, our highly successful community rewards program that encourages academic excellence among high school and college students.

The program provides a practical incentive for doing well in school by rewarding students with Tesoro fuelCards that are good for free gasoline at participating Tesoro stations.

The program first began in Alaska in 1997 and has since expanded to Hawaii, Utah, North Dakota, Idaho and Minnesota. Since the program’s inception, Tesoro has awarded more than 220,000 gallons for academic excellence. In 2004, Tesoro awarded $45,000 in free gasoline and processed approximately 5,000 student report cards during the school year. Plans are underway to extend the program into other regions in the near future..

How does it work?

Students earn $2 for each A and $1 for each B which can be redeemed for gas at participating Tesoro locations. To qualify, students with a valid drivers license in the participating *state can drop by any participating Tesoro station and fill out a verification form or complete a form online. Just print and mail a copy of your report card (Progress reports will not be accepted) to the address on the verification form.

Click here to download the verification form (PDF format).

Verification forms and a copy of the student’s report card must be postmarked within six weeks from the date the report card is issued. A Parent signature and Student signature are both required on the verification form. Tesoro will then process and verify each entry. Qualified entries will receive a fuelCard which will be mailed to students within six weeks.
