1993 students entered the Regeneron Science Talent Search, which provides a national stage for students to present original research, and celebrates the hard work and novel discoveries of young scientists who are bringing a fresh perspective to significant global challenges.

On January 22, 40 of the 300 scholars will be named Regeneron Science Talent Search finalists. Finalists receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., from March 5-11, when they will compete for more than $1.8 million in awards provided by Regeneron.
