The Broadcom MASTERS, the Society for Science’s premier national middle school STEM competition, awards approximately $100,000 in prizes annually, inspiring the next generation of young scientists and engineers. This includes six top awards.

The $10,000 H. Robert Horvitz Prize for Fundamental Research is awarded to the project that represents the best in fundamental research which furthers our understanding of science and/or mathematics. The project promotes the understanding of natural phenomena without clearly defined applications towards processes or products in mind. The award will be used by the winner to cover post-secondary educational expenses.

ISEF Awards: the $10,000 Craig R. Barrett Award for Innovation will be given to the finalist who best demonstrates an innovation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The award recognizes that research and innovation are dependent on the integration of STEM disciplines, as well as the impact they collectively have on our everyday lives. The award will be used by the winner to cover post-secondary educational expenses.
