Regeneron ISEF Awards
Regeneron ISEF finalists compete for nearly $9 million in awards, prizes and scholarships.
Each year more than 1,600 ninth through twelfth graders earn the right to compete at Regeneron ISEF by winning a top prize at a Society-affiliated local, regional, state or national science fair.
