About NYCSEF 2010

NYCSEF, the largest high school research competition in NYC, is sponsored by the New York City Department of Education and the City University of New York. Each year, hundreds of students participate from all over the five boroughs.

The Preliminary Round for NYCSEF 2010 will be a ONE DAY event held on Sunday, March 7, 2010 at The City College of New York. Projects scoring in the top 25% of each category will be invited to the Finals Round on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at The American Museum of Natural History. The top 15 to 20 scoring projects will be selected to represent NYC at the International ISEF Finals in San Jose, CA to compete for over $4,000,000 in scholarships and awards.

The 2010 NYCSEF Application deadline has passed.
