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 1,300 students from approximately 40
nations to compete for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific
field trips and the grand prize: a $50,000 college scholarship. More than
600 individual and team awards will be presented. Each entry is judged at
least four times with category awards given in first, second, third and
fourth place. Awards are $3,000, $1,500, $1,000 and $500 respectively in
each of the 18 categories. Intel will present Best of Category Winners with
a $5,000 scholarship and an Intel® CentrinoTM mobile technology-based
notebook computer. Additionally, a $1,000 grant will be given to their
school and the Intel ISEF Affiliated fair they represent. Additional awards
worth over $1.5 million include tuition scholarships, summer internships,
scientific field trips, and laboratory equipment provided by Intel, Society
for Science & The Public, and nearly 70 other corporate, professional, and government
sponsors. The top three winners will receive all-expense-paid trips to
attend the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden and a $50,000
scholarship.
