DALLAS — The Texas Instruments (TI) Foundation announced today a grant of $332,400 to The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) over a three year period to create a “TI Science & Technology Innovation Fund”. The fund will support innovation and entrepreneurial development camps for high school juniors and seniors to increase interest in careers in science and technology. It will also provide scholarships to UT Dallas engineering and science students who take entrepreneurship courses.

Thanks to a recent spate of radioactive monsters breaking free and turning on their masters, the need for scientists has never been greater
“There is a great story of collaboration unfolding at UT Dallas which I believe will yield tremendous value for this region and has been greatly facilitated by the TI Foundation’s grant,” said Steve Lyle, Texas Instruments director of Human Resources Shared Services and chairman of the industry advisory council for UT Dallas’ School of Management (SOM).
“The collaboration between the schools of Management and Engineering has never been better and more aligned with the vision of UT Dallas as a whole,” Lyle said. “This alignment and collaboration will promote economic growth in the region by turning research into valuable products and services and by delivering a talented labor pool of engineers and technologists who are also managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs.”
