Sec. 2467a. National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
        Endeavor Teacher Fellowship Trust Fund
        

(a) Establishment

    There is established in the Treasury of the United States, in 
tribute to the dedicated crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, a trust 
fund to be known as the ``National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
Endeavor Teacher Fellowship Trust Fund'' (hereafter in this section 
referred to as the ``Trust Fund''). The Trust Fund shall consist of 
gifts and donations accepted by the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration pursuant to section 2476b of this title, as well as other 
amounts which may from time to time, at the discretion of the 
Administrator, be transferred from the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration Gifts and Donations Trust Fund.

(b) Investment of Trust Fund

    The Administrator shall direct the Secretary of the Treasury to 
invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Fund in public debt securities 
with maturities suitable for the needs of the Trust Fund, and bearing 
interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking 
into consideration the current average market yield on outstanding 
marketable obligations of the United States of comparable maturities. 
Interest earned shall be credited to the Trust Fund.

(c) Purpose

    Income accruing from the Trust Fund principal shall be used to 
create the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Endeavor 
Teacher Fellowship Program, to the extent provided in advance in 
appropriation Acts. The Administrator is authorized to use such funds to 
award fellowships to selected United States nationals who are 
undergraduate students pursuing a course of study leading to certified 
teaching degrees in elementary education or in secondary education in 
mathematics, science, or technology disciplines. Awards shall be made 
pursuant to standards established for the fellowship program by the 
Administrator.
