The Tyler Junior College Foundation was incorporated in 1965 as a separate 501 (c) (3) support organization for Tyler Junior College. Like many other publicly supported institutions in Texas, the margin of excellence in our activities is dependent upon endowment gifts. Endowment resources help us to retain the best faculty, to attract the most talented students and to provide the most responsive programming.
Mission
The Tyler Junior College Foundation provides scholarship, program, and capital support to ensure that TJC continues its legacy of excellence by successfully serving the educational and workforce needs of communities throughout East Texas.
