Fairs pay a fee to affiliate with the Society for participation in the Regeneron ISEF and Broadcom MASTERS. For Broadcom MASTERS, the fee is $75 if the fair is not ISEF affiliated.

It has been determined that the Regeneron ISEF will be held virtually in 2021.  We have reduced the fee structure to reflect this change.  To affiliate with the Society for the Regeneron ISEF, the base fee in 2021 is $550 for fairs that are allotted one to two projects. Fairs with more than two projects will pay an additional $75 per project. Fairs do not have to send their allotted number of projects to the Regeneron ISEF and may instead commit to sending fewer as their budgets allow.

A $50 discount is given to fairs that affiliate by the deadline in early October. Fairs are often dependent on universities or school systems to pay their affiliation fee, and those systems’ budget calendars vary widely, so fairs are given until mid-February to pay their affiliation fee. A $75 late charge will apply to fairs that submit their affiliation fee after the payment deadline date.

Affiliation fees are non-refundable as they support the Society’s annual management of the fair network.

Affiliation Fees
Base Fee (includes 1 or 2 projects)	$550
Per Additional Project	$75
Discount, if affiliation complete by October Deadline	$50
Late Payment Fee, if payment not received by February deadline	$75

The Regeneron ISEF 2021 will be held virtually.  It is anticipated that there will be a registration fee per finalist and for an “Adult-in-Charge,” but that much of the programming of Virtual Regeneron ISEF 2021 will be open to the public without any associated fees.

Fees for finalists and for the Adult-in Charge will be reduced from 2020 rates and will posted as soon as they have been finalized.
