WVSSEF is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The Intel ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college science competition for students attending grades 9-12, and it brings together more than 1,100 students from more than 45 countries to share ideas, and showcase cutting-edge science. As part of this affiliation, each fair funds up to two students for all-expense-paid trips to the Intel ISEF competition held annually in May.
