Every hug, every smile, every achievement — your support helps make it possible for students to reach their dreams.
In recent years, educators and industry leaders have watched with growing concern as fewer students pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)—fields that drive innovation, economic growth, and solutions to our most urgent global challenges. Too many talented young people are held back, not by lack of passion, but by financial barriers. By supporting the jLee Foundation, donors play a direct role in reversing this trend and empowering the next generation of problem-solvers, while ensuring that discovery and innovation remain within reach for all. Your contribution can transform potential into progress.
At the jLee Foundation for Science and Technology, we believe that education plays a key role in building a brighter future. Through our scholarships and endowment support, we’re helping students achieve their academic goals, contribute to their communities, and reach their full potential. Learn more about how our programs are making a difference across the Virginias and the Carolinas.
Rewarding academic excellence, leadership, and service, our Merit Scholarship supports students throughout college with performance-based financial awards.
In partnership with local high schools, this scholarship honors one deserving senior from each school who exemplifies integrity, achievement, and community spirit.
Awarded at the discretion of the Founders to assist those students who have demonstrated excellence toward achieving their educational goals. These scholarships are typically awarded to students during their educational journey to achieve their lifelong goals.
The J Lee Foundation for Science and Technology relies on the strength of its privately managed endowment fund to power its mission of supporting students in STEM fields. This fund is built on generosity and sustained by those who believe in the power of education to transform lives. Thanks to operational support from Cedar Creek Management Group, every dollar contributed goes directly to scholarships — not administrative costs. Whether you give online, by mail, or through a planned gift, your support helps ensure that future scientists, engineers, and technologists have the resources they need to succeed.
