About the International Science & Engineering Fair

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre-college celebration of science. Held annually in May, the Intel ISEF brings together over 1,400 students from more than 40 nations to compete for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: a $50,000 college scholarship.

Science Service founded the ISEF in 1950 and is very proud to have Intel as the title sponsor of this prestigious, international competition.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) provides an opportunity for the best young scientists from around the globe to share ideas, showcase cutting-edge science projects, and compete for over $3 million in awards and scholarships.

Science Service
Founded in 1921, Science Service's mission is to advance public understanding and appreciation of science among people of all ages through publications and educational programs. A non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, Science Service has encouraged students, parents, teachers, and communities to explore the vast world of science. Science Service began the task of promoting science education early in its 83-year history with "Radio Adventures in Science;" hands-on experiments for students, called "Things of Science;" administration of Science Clubs of America; and finally, the evolution of two of the most prestigious competitions in pre-college science. Through publications and programs, science fairs and scholarship competitions, Science Service helps young people utilize and strengthen their knowledge in science, math, and engineering. Many credit these experiences as a decisive factor in choosing a scientific career.
