The Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is the nation's most prestigious pre-college science competition. Alumni of STS have made extraordinary
contributions to science and hold more than 100 of the world's most distinguished science and math honors, including seven Nobel Prizes and four
National Medals of Science. The Intel STS recognizes 300 students and their schools as semifinalists each year - 1,839 applicants in 2012 - to
compete for $1.25 million in awards. From that select pool, 40 finalists are then invited to Washington, DC in March to undergo final judging,
display their work to the public, meet with notable scientists, and compete for the top award of $100,000.
