National Science Bowl^® Community College Scholarship Program 

Funding provided by Honda Foundation

Since 1991, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Science Bowl® has recognized outstanding academic achievement. The National Science Bowl® is a highly visible educational event and academic competition among teams of high school students who attend science seminars and compete in a verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions in all branches of science and math. The regional and national events encourage student involvement in math and science activities, improve awareness of career options in science and technology, and provide an avenue of enrichment and reward for academic science achievement. To continue this recognition and advance the national impact of the National Science Bowl, administered by Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, the Teaching & Technology Community College (T2C2) Scholarship Program is being established for students who have an interest in pursuing a career in the sciences, engineering, mathematics, or teaching.  Funding for this scholarship programs is provided by the Honda Foundation.
