National Science Foundation
Where Discoveries Begin
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a Federal agency which
promotes science and engineering research and education in the United
States. It does this through grants, contracts, and cooperative
agreements to colleges, universities, and other research and/or
education institutions. The agency does not operate its own
laboratories, but does support national research centers, certain
oceanographic vessels, and Antarctic research stations. The Foundation
also supports cooperative agreements between universities and industry
as well as U.S. participation in international scientific efforts. The
NSF is located in Arlington, Virginia.
Paid student employment opportunities are available throughout the
year for clerical and student trainee positions in such fields as
contracting, computer science, and accounting. To request a copy of a
vacancy announcement for student employment opportunities and
application procedures, please contact Ms. Madalyn Chisley on
(703) 292-4350 or access the NSF website on
