What can science fairs do for you?
I was accepted into top-notch universities, including Ivy League schools, when applying for college. SMU and Austin College offered me the President's Scholarship, the highest merit-based scholarship at their universities; I was offered the prestigious McDermott Scholarship at UTD. Why? Because of my experience in research through Science Fair. I can't tell you how many college interviews ended up in discussions of my work and I sincerely believe and have been told time and time again that science fair played a big part in my success. It has put me a step above the rest: my experiences in research will obviously be attractive to medical schools, and will therefore help me pursue my dream. Jupin Kaur Malhi, SMU Biology student.

There are $100,000 in cash awards, prizes, and scholarships to win at the regional fair,
and even more if you qualify for State or International Fairs .
