Abstract

NSF SCHOLARSHIPSThe rising number of so-called H-1B visa applications, which allow U.S. companies to hire foreign technical workers, has created a pot of scholarship money at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

And the number of such scholarships, earmarked for students on tight budgets, could jump significantly if Congress again raises the cap, as seems likely.
