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.

Please be advised the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair (WSSEF) is no longer sanctioned to host the Oregon regional JSHS. The Oregon JSHS will still occur with a different host. Only students who participate in JSHS sanctioned regional events are eligible for scholarships and attendance at the National JSHS. WSSEF is not sanctioned for the Oregon JSHS for 2023-2024. Students should not be communicating with WSSEF regarding JSHS or submitting JSHS registrations directly to WSSEF.

Students who wish to apply to present at the Oregon regional JSHS must register using the official link below. Oregon students are still encouraged to utilize Chronus for virtual mentoring. 

For the 2023-24 school year, the Oregon Regional JSHS will be hosted by the Virtual JSHS region. The Oregon regional JSHS event will be held in a virtual format simultaneously with the Virtual JSHS event, but will have its own separate awards. The Oregon JSHS region will have 3 JSHS scholarship winners and 5 student delegates invited to the National JSHS. Students attending high schools located in the state of Oregon should apply to present at JSHS using the link below. Please reach out to Kendrick Buford, Virtual JSHS Regional Director, with any questions.
