In partnership with the College Board, the Siemens Foundation established the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology and the Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing scholarships and increasing access to higher education for talented mathematics, science, engineering, and technology students in the United States.
The Siemens Competition seeks to promote excellence by encouraging students to undertake individual or team research projects. It fosters intensive research that improves students' understanding of the value of scientific study and informs their consideration of future careers in these disciplines.
You can compete as an individual or as a member of a team. Individual projects promote independent research. Team projects foster collaborative research efforts, as well as individual contributions to the cooperative endeavor.
Scholarships for winning projects range from $1,000 to $100,000.
The names of the Semifinalists and Regional Finalists will by posted on the Siemens Foundation website at www.siemens-foundation.org by 2 p.m. on October 24, 2008, and will be listed in the USA Today on October 30, 2008. Best of luck to all students that submitted a research project.
Also, remember to visit www.siemens-foundation.org on December 8, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. ET to view a live webcast of the National Finalist Award Presentation from New York University!
