House Passes Internet Database Tech Scholarships

Yesterday the House passed the National STEM Scholarship Database Act (H.R. 1051) by voice vote.

This bill directs the Secretary of Education to establish and maintain a public website through which individuals may find a complete database of available scholarships, fellowships, and other programs of financial assistance in the study of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

As with all good things in Washington, things must be reduced to an acronym.

The other, more recently developed trend is to create an Internet database for everything.
