Two Washington high school seniors will be selected from the applicant pool to receive a scholarship to exchange ideas with scientists and other professionals from the academic and corporate worlds. The selected delegates must not only demonstrate academic achievement in science, but also show potential for thoughtful scientific leadership.

http://apply.nysc.org and must be submitted by February 28, 2018.

Additional information available at OSPI website. 

 The NYSC experience is hosted and operated by the National Youth Science Foundation (
