| Students in Santa Clara Unified School District receive cutting-edge science curriculum, thanks in part to a professional development grant provided by National Semiconductor. |
At the heart of National's support for the community is a commitment to education. In K-12 education, the company focuses on providing teachers with professional development, materials and support in the fields of inquiry-based science and math. Launched in 2008, National’s Power of Education Initiative will funnel $1 million in grants to local education and nonprofit partners in K-12 classrooms through 2011. Additionally, National provides grants to select academic partners to enhance the teaching and education of students in analog integrated circuits and electronics. Most recently, National provided a four year, $500,000 grant to San Jose State University's Department of Electrical Engineering to support the creation of an Analog/Mixed-Signal Design and Test Center.
