Sponsor the NCSEF
The NCSEF is organized by the NC Science Fair Foundation (NCSFF), a non-profit 50lc3 corporation.
NCSEF is funded in full through the financial donations of individuals, businesses, higher education institutions, and other interested organizations. If you are interested in increasing the quality and quantity of student research in all STEM areas, please consider donating to the NCSFF.
Because the NCSFF/NCSEF is fully staffed by all volunteers, 100% of your donations go directly to supporting students' efforts in science and engineering research and to provide teacher training in facilitating student research. Donors can choose to designate their contributions to fund specific areas of the NCSEF such as student awards or teacher workshops.
