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 admin@www.jshs.org.

All Maryland high schools are eligible to participate in the Maryland Regional JSHS, with the exception of schools located in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties inside the I-495 Beltway. Students in school systems located inside the I-495 Beltway in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties should participate in the Greater Washington, D.C. JSHS. Maryland students who are unsure which region to participate in should reach out to the Maryland JSHS for guidance.
