Special Award Organizations
Each year, dozens of professional organizations — representing a wide variety of scientific disciplines across government, industry, and education — affiliate with Regeneron ISEF as Special Award Organizations (SAOs).
Partnering with Society for Science as an SAO gives the participating organization the chance to set criteria for, recruit judges for, and present one or multiple named Special Awards at ISEF. Special Awards provide opportunities for outstanding students to be recognized beyond the Grand Awards, while allowing participating organizations to publicly demonstrate their commitment to STEM education and the next generation of innovators.
