JSHS invites high school students to report on the results of their original research investigations in STEM and compete for scholarships and recognition at university-held regional symposia. Students in grades 9-12 enrolled in public, private, or home schools are eligible to participate in their local Regional Symposium. See Rules of Competition for eligibility details. There is no cost to register for or participate in a regional JSHS event. If you are asked to pay a fee to register, please contact us at [email protected].

Any student who starts a research project and intends to submit their research at the regional JSHS competition is able to sign up for virtual mentoring through the Chronus platform. The mentor resource is available year-round to support you throughout the JSHS competition season and the non-competition time of completing research or improving continued projects. Join Chronus as a mentee here.

Regional boundaries have changed and the Iowa JSHS region is now the Heartland JSHS region, which includes the entirety of Iowa and Nebraska. Students located in Nebraska should compete in the Heartland region in 2024. 

Symposium dates: February 26-27, 2024

Deadline for student applications: January 10, 2024
