INTEL PROGRAM (SCIENCE)

To return to the Murrow Science Main Page, click here.
The Intel Science Talent Search Contest is a nationwide science fair with $330,000 in scholarship money available. Over the years it has become one of the most well-known science contests in the US. Seniors from all over the country submit projects in hopes of becoming a finalist. Several students from Murrow have been semifinalists.

What Are the Rewards?

All semifinalists receive college recommendations, financial assistance, scholarships, and a fine sense of accomplishment and measure of self-esteem from finishing a difficult and lengthy assignment.

The forty nation-wide finalists will be awarded scholarships of the following amounts:
Scholarships Awarded
- One $50,000 scholarship
- One $40,000 scholarship
- One $30,000 scholarship
- Three $20,000 scholarships
- Four $15,000 scholarships
- Thirty $3,000 scholarships
 
Basic Requirements


Primary emphasis is placed on a written report of an independent science, social science, mathematics, or engineering research project. An Entry Form, designed to elicit evidence of creativity and interest in science, is also required, along with high school transcript, recommendations, and standardized test scores. Students may submit only one entry. The research project must be the work of a single individual; group projects are not eligible.

Timeline

Mid-August -- Entry materials available
Mid-November -- Deadline for receipt of entry
Mid January -- 300 Semifinalists announced
Late January -- 40 Finalists announced
Early March -- Exhibition of projects and awards ceremony in Washington, DC 

How are Winners Selected?

Three hundred semifinalists are selected from the entries received (usually about 1,600) after careful evaluation by a team of more than 20 evaluators and judges specializing in a variety of scientific disciplines. Forty finalists are then selected from the semifinalists and invited to Washington, DC for final judging by a board of eight distinguished scientists.
