The FY2027 President's Budget requests $150.5M for STEM Education - H-1B Visa, within National Science Foundation's Total, NSF Mandatory Funding account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $150.5M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $150.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $150.5M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
National Science Foundation discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of National Science Foundation's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Directs H-1B visa petitioner fees to scholarships for low-income STEM students through the S-STEM program and to K-12 public-private partnerships through Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST).
Extracted from National Science Foundation, p. 23. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
86 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
