"The experiences of first-generation Indian Americans and their spelling bee champion children illustrate the economic success and cultural impact of the nation’s second-largest immigrant group."

Since 1999, 28 of the last 34 Scripps National Spelling Bee champions have been Indian American and most of those winners are the offspring of parents who arrived in the United States on student or work visas.
