NAISEF is an SSP-affiliated science fair and is the only national science fair, with a virtual option, centered around acknowledging and supporting indigenous students interested in science and engineering. During our event, students compete for the chance to represent NAISEF at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
NAISEF sends 2 Grand Prize winners to the ISEF where they compete against students from over 70 other countries. In addition to the Grand Prize, students are also eligible for various cash prizes, and can build their network at our College and Career Fair.
