Jersey Shore Science Fair 2021

The Jersey Shore Science Fair (JSSF) has been held at Stockton University since 1975. It is one of fourteen local fairs that feed into the Delaware Valley Regional Science Fair (DVSF) where first place finishers have the potential to move onto the International level.

Each year, the JSSF attracts over 600 students from over 40 schools from our state's coastal counties (Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean and Monmouth). Students compete in fifteen categories ranging from biological sciences to engineering, to behavioral science. The JSSF follows the rules and guidelines of the the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

This year, the JSSF was held as a virtual fair where students submitted abstracts and research papers and presented their work to judges via video.
