These centers are run by dedicated volunteers who are committed to the noble cause of helping the poor who excel at studies attend college. There is a plan to add more chapters, especially in states where NSF does not have a presence. Please contact us if you can help us start a new chapter.

Educational contests in the US are designed to encourage academic excellence among Indian American children. The spelling, vocabulary, math, science, geography, essay writing, and public speaking bees are conducted annually in two steps. Children initially participate in any of 76 centers in the US. Winners of these contests are invited for the national finals. National top three rankers are awarded scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $250, redeemable in the winners’ freshman year of college. Brain bee is conducted only at the national level. More than 70,000 contestants benefited from NSF bees. Please contact us if you would like to have a chapter in your area.

Accomplishments of NSF Children: Many NSF children have scored top ranks in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, National Geographic Bee and MATHCOUNTS.
