How You Can Help
There are many ways to support the work of the Ying TRSEF and the students in 27 New York State counties who can benefit. Whether a corporation, organization, foundation or individual, you can make a difference as we work to open the doors of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to these curious and motivated young people! Here are examples of ways you can pitch in.
Talent Sponsors
Help us conduct the media campaign in your area to recruit students, judges and mentors, or give brief talks at the local PTAs/PTOs or professional associations about the Ying TRSEF. (The Fair Director can provide you with a complete package including a PowerPoint presentation and great anecdotes.)
Grand Award Sponsors
All the fees, travel, hotel and food for the week-long ISEF in May for both Finalists and their chaperone; it adds up quickly. We could certainly use a major financial gift. Or perhaps you have Frequent Flyer miles we could use to transport the group?
Scientist Sponsors
Our middle school Junior Level accepts sponsorships of $500 and the high school Senior Level accepts $1000 sponsorships to support the year-round work of encouraging science fair participation in 27 counties by students, parents, teachers and other concerned adults.
Judges Sponsors
Our judges and fair officials need identifying sashes on their nametags so our security people permit them to enter the Exhibit Hall. The Fair also must provide lunches for the judges, who graciously arrive in the morning and work through the afternoon! And to that, add support for recruiting all these people!
Naming Sponsors
The year-round work of the Fair Director and our Advisory Council makes the Ying TRSEF possible. The naming sponsor helps create our fair’s mentor and support network from Niagara Falls to the Hudson, Canada to Pennsylvania.
Media Sponsors
Before the Fair we publicize the opportunity to schools, communities, professional organizations. On Fair Day, we need to shoot stills and video footage, and share with the media the news that hundreds of young people are making good choices.
Awards Sponsors
Every student receives a letter of participation. Ideally, a sponsor will provide medallions and pins for our Finalists to bring to ISEF for the traditional international exchange. You can also sponsor your own award, such as a job shadow experience at your facility, an internship, or a savings bond.
Scientific American Sponsors
The Education Liaison of Scientific American can provide twelve months of the magazine for $5 per subscription if a sponsor comes forward! We have permission to secure at least five-six subscriptions, but if you want to donate more, make a proposal and we’ll bring it to the Education Liaison.
Please contact the Fair Director today to discuss your ideas about Ying TRSEF sponsorship!
