Veteran's Education
Veteran's Education for Engineering and Science REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON THE POST-9/11 GI BILL In August 2009, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will launch a new program of educational benefits for veterans of the U.S. armed forces who served on active duty after September 10, 2001. The program greatly expands the post-secondary educational benefits available to those veterans and creates an opportunity for the United States to expand its technical workforce while serving those who served. To help form those partnerships and generate ideas on how to encourage post-9/11 veterans to use the new benefit toward educational opportunities that lead to careers in science and technology, NSF's Division of Engineering Education and Centers sponsored a workshop on April 13-14, 2009. The workshop brought together a diverse group of professionals from academia and business along with several government officials and NSF program officers. This report describes the workshop and outlines its recommendations. It also explores the new veterans benefit and examines the population it will serve. The complete report can be found here.

Research and Education Highlights
Division education and research highlights play a key role in educating Congress, and informing the community and the public; they also serve to evaluate NSF's performance in relation to the strategic plan. They capture the essence of our research and education activities at the frontiers and convey their excitement and promise. They also allow us to highlight emerging opportunities and challenges. Selected EEC highlights can be found here.
