to compete at the national level.
• US Air Force Research Laboratory Awards
By: US Air Force Research Laboratory
The Air Force Research Laboratory is proud to support STEM initiatives for our nation’s youth.
• US Metric Association Science Fair Award
By: US Metric Association
This award recognizes a project that expresses measurements in SI units. Research may use a variety of SI parameters,
such as force (newtons), kilopascals (pressure), joules (energy), power in watts (power), millimeters (length), or liters
(volume). Measurement should be integral to the research, rather than superficially used to describe supplies (e.g.,
container capacity, substances quantities, or display board dimensions). Research should involve quantitative
measurements and use the International System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system. The subject
of the project should not be the SI system itself.
• Yale Science and Engineering Association Award
By: Yale Science and Engineering Association
The Yale Science & Engineering Association, Inc. (YSEA) wishes to provide one (1) award at each Regional/State/
International Regeneron ISEF Competition. It is intended that this recognition be awarded to the most outstanding 11th
grade project exhibiting in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In extraordinary cases it
may be awarded to a 10th or 12th grade project.
