Americas global competitiveness will increasingly depend on our ability to attract more of our best and brightest students into technological careers. Sadly. the U.S. is growing reliant on foreign talents to fulfill its science and engineering workforce needs. According to the National Science Foundation. 25 percent of all collegeeducated professionals in science and engineering occupations in the United States are foreign born. The National STEM Scholarship Database addresses this problem by directing the Secretary of Education to establish a database on the Departments Web site with Information on financial assistance for postsecondary and graduate programs in science. technology. engineering and mathematics. This important database will help capable students who are interested in STEM careers find scholarships to support their studies.
