Projects may require large amounts of money to complete. You can apply for the President's Research Grant, which provides reimbursements for any sum up to $250.
You must apply for the President's Grant before February 15 of the current school year. An application consists of two parts, including the application form and an endorsement by a school sponsor. See information below. The deadline has been extended from that listed on the doc below.
See all forms below.
A great way to participate in IJAS is to become a runner. If you are not eligible grade-wise to participate in IJAS, get a taste of what the IJAS competitions are all about by becoming a runner.
A runner essentially delivers the documents from the judges to the science fair committee.
Runners must be 11 years old or older.
Runners can also receive service hours for volunteering.
If you are interested, contact your school sponsor.
