Oregon Junior Science & Humanities Symposium (JSHS) is a competition that awards scholarships to students interested in STEM and is sponsored by the US Army, Navy, and Air Force. The competition is open to all High School students from the state of Oregon who are US Citizens. The first round of the competition is blind judging of student research summaries. All students who submit a research summary are invited to attend the regional event held at the Evergreen Aviation Museum where 12 semifinalists will compete for scholarships and a chance to attend the National Competition.

Thank you to everyone who has donated. We have raised $20,000. Our full sponsor list is growing and thanks also to the many who choose to remain anonymous. 
Judge registration has also opened, once our last fair confirms their date I will send a registration reminder to all.

We have a new Donate Now link. This allows credit card donations through our fiscal sponsor the PSU Foundation.

The Northwest Science Expo is looking for a new title sponsor for the first time since 1999, when Intel took over sponsorship. As time is short in order to guarantee the 2020 science expo, we are also working to raise $30,000 from our many supporters in the next three months. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable through law through our fiscal sponsor the PSU Foundation. Please share this with your networks and contact Stephanie Jones with any questions.
