High School Research Symposium

About the Program

The High School Research Symposium (HSRS) is not your average science fair! High school students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting the results of their original research projects before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers.

Students will also have the opportunity to visit cutting-edge university research labs, hear from university researchers about their work and career paths, and network with their peers.
