The NXP Foundation, the non-profit organization associated with NXP Semiconductors, announced a $250,000 donation to the Austin Community College District (ACC) Foundation in support of the school’s Engineering Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Program.
Representatives from the NXP Foundation presented a check to the ACC Board of Trustees at a reception on Tuesday, November 29, 2022.
The donation, which includes scholarship funds and will also enable the creation of the NXP Advanced Manufacturing Lab, demonstrates NXP’s ongoing commitment to promote and improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the local Austin community.
The NXP Advanced Manufacturing Lab will be co-located with the ACC High School Advanced Manufacturing IMPACT Academy at ACC Highland, where students can work toward college credits while they are still in high school. In addition, beginning in the 2023-24 academic year, the NXP-endowed scholarship program will begin making awards targeting candidates from the Advanced Manufacturing Academy.
“For many years, the NXP Foundation has been dedicated to improving STEM education and to supporting initiatives that improve diversity in STEM fields - this gift reinforces our commitment to STEM and to supporting the Austin community,” said Danielle Alexandra, chair of the NXP Foundation.
“ACC is an extraordinary institution of learning, inspiring the spirits and minds of young people to excel and reach beyond barriers to achieve their aspirations. At the NXP Foundation, we are so proud to be part of their journeys through the new NXP Advanced Manufacturing laboratory,” Alexandra added. “We hope this donation will help support today's students with the groundwork they need to embrace the spirit of innovation throughout their careers.”
