Science and Engineering Fairs offer an exceptional opportunity to enrich school programs at both the elementary and secondary level through encouraging independent project work, developing displays, having work judged, sharing similar interests with other students, competing for awards and receiving local, national and even international recognition. Science and Engineering Fair participation provides experiences and motivation that are reflected in both personal and classroom development.

Make ISEF your WHY!

Student participants in grades 9-12 will be judged for eligibility to participate in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.

The International Science and Engineering Fair was founded in 1950 by Science Service (now the Society for Science & the Public) and has been sponsored by the Intel Corporation since 1997. Beginning in 2020, Regeneron has been named the title sponsor for ISEF.

Each May, more than 1,700 students from roughly 70 countries and territories compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field t rips, and grand prizes, including one $ 75,000 and two $ 50,000 college scholarships. All prizes together amount to over $4,070,000.

The delegation from Mississippi includes up to 16 winners from all regions.

 Thanks to our sponsors!

The Center for STEM Education, established in 1964, has served almost 1500 graduate students in mathematics and science education. Our graduate degree programs currently serve nearly 40 masters and doctoral level students. We stimulate, develop, and support interdisciplinary STEM education research initiatives both on and off campus. And we design and provide STEM Education outreach activities for the region.
