The TMS Foundation
The TMS Foundation was established in 1993, to develop and fund programs that will
fully prepare future generations of professionals for leadership roles in the international minerals, metals, and materials community.
MISSION STATEMENT

but we must also equip our people to walk through those doors."

- Supporting projects, programs, and tools that have a significant impact on materials engineering education by virtue of content, methodology, or scope.
- Investing in knowledge, people, products, and infrastructure that positively impact the quality of life in society through materials innovation.
