The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology was established in 1985 as a full-service high school for advanced study in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Funded by Fairfax County and the State of Virginia, TJ has become a top STEM school.
Through the generosity of TJ’s alumni, parents past and present, corporations and foundations, and friends of TJ who understand the school’s importance, the Partnership Fund has been able to authorize grants of over $1 million directly to TJ since 2020 and of over $10 million to the school throughout its history. Indeed, we delivered over $500,000 of real dollar support to TJ in FY2025 alone!
We hope you will join us in Supporting TJ's Educational Mission.
Through the support of our generous partners, we have approved grants to:
Secure the maintenance and upkeep of TJ’s university-level research instrumentation through 2025;
Invite 100 TJ seniors and juniors to interface with STEM leaders through our Internship Fair;
Support the launch of TJ’s second satellite into space, and TJ SPACE’s participation in the National Small Satellite Conference;
Send TJ’s Rocketry Team to the NASA Student Launch Initiative Competition in Huntsville, AL;
… and so much more!
