Correct answers: Russian language education and science and math education.

The National Defense Education Act (1958) was passed after Sputnik to improve U.S. competitiveness by funding science, mathematics, and foreign-language (notably Russian) education, plus student loans and research support. It did not focus on funding education in the arts.
