Each year, students from around the world compete in the Society for Science & the Public’s more than 420 affiliated high school science fairs. Top winners earn the right to compete at Regeneron ISEF where nearly 2,000 finalists are judged in 21 different categories. During the week of August 24, the Society hosted a series of conference calls with directors for those affiliated fairs to answer questions about the impact of COVID-19 on Regeneron ISEF 2021.

The Society for Science announced today that $75,000 in grants have been awarded to 18 grassroots organizations committed to STEM education and science literacy for underserved and underrepresented groups, including racial and ethnic minority populations, girls, students in rural areas and more.
