    The Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS), a program of 
    Society for Science and the Public (SSP), is the nation's oldest and 
    most prestigious pre-college science competition.  Each year, students 
    submit original research in critically important scientific fields of 
    study and are judged by leading experts in their fields.  The top 300 
    entries are recognized as the top young scientists in the U.S., and 
    they and their schools receive prizes of $2,000 each.  The top 40 
    Regeneron Science Talent Search finalists are invited to Washington, 
    D.C., to attend a weeklong celebration of science, meet with lawmakers 
    and leaders, and compete for the top honor of $250,000.  

    Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is a
