For the sixth year, The Lemelson Foundation is giving $100 awards to outstanding young inventors in Society Affiliate Fairs with middle school participants around the country. The prize was created to reward young inventors whose projects exemplify the ideals of inventive thinking by identifying challenges in their communities and creating solutions that will improve lives.

Become a part of our inaugural Alumni Special Award Committee to fund, judge, and award one or more student finalists at the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Columbus, Ohio.
