SARC is unique in that participants can research any topic they want!
The High School Academic Research Competition (SARC) is where talented students from around the world compete to present high-quality research on any topic.
Your research topic can range from political science, art, and economics to engineering, history, or any other field of interest. SARC is unique in that participants can research any topic they want!
SARC is open to all high school students aged 13-18. We also accept entries from 9th graders who have yet to turn 13, as well as recent high school graduates taking a gap year who are not enrolled in university credits.
Moreover, SARC is hosted completely online, breaking down geographical barriers and providing students from all over the world access to explore and develop their research interests.
