Application Deadline: October 2, 2006
Amount of Award: 1,000.00 to 100,000.00
Application Requirements/Description:

The 2006-07 Siemens Westinghouse Competition is open to all senior high school students who would like to submit an original science and math research project. You may enter as an individual (if you will be a senior in September), or as part of a team of two or three students (note: it is not necessary to have seniors on the team).

The Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science & Technology recognizes remarkable talent early on, fostering individual growth for high school students who are willing to challenge themselves through science research. Through this competition, students have an opportunity to achieve national recognition for science research projects that they complete in high school.

Students may submit research reports either individually or in teams of two or three members. Impartial panels of research scientists from leading universities and national laboratories judge the reports in the initial blind reading.

Students whose projects are selected for further competition, are invited to give an oral and poster presentation at one of the six regional events hosted by partner universities. At each of these regional competitions an individual and a team are selected as Regional Winners. These students receive scholarships and invitations to advance to the National Competition in Washington, D.C.

Note: Siemens scholarship may be used for any part of a student’s post high school education including books, tuition, room and board, etc.

Successful competition participants may apply for valuable internships at Siemens operating companies.
