**(a) In general** The Foundation is authorized to award scholarships and graduate fellowships for study and research in the sciences or in engineering at appropriate nonprofit American or nonprofit foreign institutions selected by the recipient of such aid, for stated periods of time. Persons shall be selected for such scholarships and fellowships from among citizens, nationals or lawfully admitted permanent resident aliens of the United States, and such selections shall be made solely on the basis of ability; but in any case in which two or more applicants for scholarships or fellowships, as the case may be, are deemed by the Foundation to be possessed of substantially equal ability, and there are not sufficient scholarships or fellowships, as the case may be, available to grant one to each of such applicants, the available scholarship or scholarships or fellowship or fellowships shall be awarded to the applicants in such manner as will tend to result in a wide distribution of scholarships and fellowships throughout the United States and as will address national workforce demand in critical STEM fields. Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit the Foundation from refusing or revoking a scholarship or fellowship award, in whole or in part, in the case of any applicant or recipient, if the Board is of the opinion that such award is not in the best interests of the United States.
**(b) Amount** The Director shall establish for each year the amount to be awarded for scholarships and fellowships under this section for that year. Each such scholarship and fellowship shall include a cost of education allowance of at least $16,000, subject to any restrictions on the use of cost of education allowance as determined by the Director.
**(c) Outreach** The Director shall

The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which is classified
principally to this chapter, is act Aug. 1, 1946, ch. 724.
It was originally enacted as the Atomic Energy Act of
1946, act Aug. 1, 1946, ch. 724, 60 Stat. 755, which con-
sisted of sections 1 to 21 and was classified generally to
chapter 14 (§ 1801 et seq.) of this title. The Atomic En-
ergy Act of 1946 was renamed the Atomic Energy Act of
1954 and amended generally by act Aug. 30, 1954, ch.
1073, § 1, 68 Stat. 919, and was subsequently transferred
to this chapter. Sections that were enacted as part of
the 1954 general amendment are shown herein as having
been added to act Aug. 1, 1946, and not as amending it,
