Every year, roughly 1,600 U.S. high school seniors enter the Intel Science Talent Search with original science projects. Forty finalists, representing the best and brightest young scientific minds in America, go on to compete for over USD 1.25 million in awards and scholarships.

Improving math and science education

Seeking to highlight the need for improved math and science education in the United States, Intel assumed the title sponsorship of the Intel STS in 1998—a move that supported Intel's larger goal of enabling students on the path to innovation.

Over the past 68 years, former Science Talent Search finalists have achieved some of the world's most prestigious academic honors. Seven have gone on to win the Nobel Prize; others have been awarded the Fields Medal, the National Medal of Science, and the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship.
