Society Staff: Emily joined Society for Science in 2019 and works as an Outreach Programs Senior Specialist, working predominantly with the Advocate Program and ISEF Education Outreach Day programs.

The STEM Action Grant program aims to bolster and support community-driven nonprofit organizations that are working to enhance the public’s understanding of science and to increase participation of underrepresented populations in STEM fields. Since 2016, the Society has awarded $410,000 to 64 organizations wanting to improve access to STEM education.

This Society Alumni Network, powered by Graduway, is offered and available to users who are 14 years of age and older.

Affiliated fairs are members of the Society for Science network. These competitions exist in nearly every state in the United States as well as over 70 other countries, regions and territories. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels and can be affiliated with the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and/or the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge. To compete at ISEF, a 9th-12th grade student must first win the honor through participation at a Society-affiliated fair. Each affiliated fair has a designated number of projects (individual or team) that they may support to come to ISEF.

The Regeneron Science Talent Search proudly identifies future leaders in science, and awards deserving students and their schools with $3.1 million each year. The first place prize is $250,000—the largest scientific prize available to a high school student in the United States.
