Overview


At Texas Instruments (TI), education is the highest priority for corporate philanthropy — a heritage of involvement that dates back to the company’s founders. In the past fi ve years alone, TI and the Texas Instruments Foundation have invested nearly $125 million in support of education. In addition, volunteer hours, equipment donations and in-kind contributions signifi cantly extend this impact.


Higher education has received about 93 percent of this investment, with approximately 75 percent of that funding focused on research. Objectives are to support research, build the pipeline of students succeeding in science, technol- ogy, engineering and math (STEM) and to help develop and prepare more educators to teach these critical subjects.


Through its long-term relationships with educators and their organizations, and effective partnerships in local communities, TI helps drive fundamental change while developing and supporting proven, successful programs. Below are select program examples — a full listing, including TI-sponsored scholarships and university research, can be found at http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/csr/community/education/.
