Sputnik turned American spending, education wise, to math and science. Throughout the years following Sputnik, there was a push to encourage students to excel in these subjects, and the arts slowly gained a reputation of being 'useless.' This related to an eventual increase in scholarship money for students studying these subjects, and others considered crucial to defense, such as spanish or arabic.
