Scholarships
Students and teachers who are engaging in long-term projects that will be presented at an Idealized Science Institute science conference are eligible to apply for scholarships. The intent is to encourage participation in authentic scientific work. In general, long-term projects should not be about spending money or buying things. Using readily available materials, and especially those that are being reused, recycled, or are destined for the trash bin are better for the environment and often show the thriftiness that engineers and scientists appreciate.
The next Idealized Science Institute sponsored science conference will held at Freedom Area High School (located in Beaver County in Pennsylvania) on May 2, 2025. Up to five scholarships are available for students and teachers in Beaver and Allegheny Counties. See below for details.
