History of the Military Science Scholarship Endowment Fund LTC Michael Rainbolt, retired , established the Military Science Scholarship Endowment Fund (MSSEF) in 1991 to provide privately funded scholarships for Army ROTC cadets at OSU and WOU.
The MSSEF is a 501(c)3 charitable organization not affiliated with BCF. As MSSEF grew, scholarship opportunities were expanded to include cadets and midshipmen from the Air Force and Naval Science programs. In 1996, LTC Rainbolt approached BCF with a proposal to accept management of the endowed scholarships that he had created.
In the ensuing years, Mike transferred these endowments to BCF and new endowments were created. ROTC scholarships are open to ROTC students at Oregon State University and its extension campuses, including, but not limited to WOU, Corban University, and OSU Cascade.
In 2009 the scope of the original effort was expanded further to include support to veterans, military families, and military children through the establishment of several designated funds and a donor advised fund. This expanded support gives the Benton Community Foundation the flexibility to support a wide range of military and veteran needs.
The ROTC scholarships are awarded in honor and remembrance of the men and women who have served their country in the military in World War I, World War II, Korea, the “Cold War,” Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Nominees for ROTC Scholarships are selected on the basis of recommendation by the respective ROTC Commander.

NSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
Read articleA September 18, 2026 proclamation renews the $100,000 H-1B payment through September 21, 2027. Courts have blocked collection since June. The cap-exempt carve-out that protects universities from the DHS fee rule does not appear here — and that gap decides how grant-funded labs should hire.
Read articleH.R. 6500 was signed into law September 2, 2026. Section 157 bars OMB from issuing or finalizing the Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance through December 11 — and voids it retroactively if it was already finalized.
