Read the Official Rules on an annual basis.

We know this document is long, but new rules are added each year. Understanding the rules will allow you to guide student project selection prior to entering STS, help students obtain the correct paperwork and more.

Mark your calendar!

Help remind your students (and submit your own recommendations if applicable). The official application deadline is Thursday, November 7 at 8pm ET. All application, and adult recommendation, materials are due by this date and time. We are unable to make any exceptions to this rule.

The Technical Support deadline is the day prior—Wednesday, November 6 at 8pm ET. All questions, concerns, tech issues, etc. must be reported by this date and time. The Society promises to resolve all issues reported by the Technical Support Deadline, but cannot guarantee resolution for issues reported after this window. Entrants are encouraged to submit early to avoid any last minute problems.

Sadly, many students take the time to enter Regeneron STS but will not progress in the competition if they are part of an ineligible age group, are lacking proper paperwork, or have violated an STS rule. Make sure this does not happen to your students.
