The Intel STS is administered by the Science Service , which began the competition in 1942 with Westinghouse ; for many years, the competition was known as the "Westinghouse Science Talent Search." In 1998, Intel became the sponsor of the "Westinghouse Competition." Over the years, over $3.8 million in Scholarship s have been awarded through the program. Entrants submit an original research paper. The selection process is highly competitive, and besides the research paper, letters of recommendation, essays, test scores, and high school transcripts may be factored in the selection of finalists and winners. Each year, approximately 1,600 papers are submitted. The top 300 applicants are announced in mid-January with each semifinalist and their school receiving $1000. In late January, the 40 finalists are informed; they compete in March in Washington, D.C., at the National Academy Of Science for the top ten spots, which have scholarships ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 for the first prize winner. In addition, all finalists receive $5,000 scholarships and an Intel Centrino powered laptop. RELATED PAGES Intel Science Talent Institute 2006 EXTERNAL LINK |
