Ying Scholar Competition
features TWO SCHOLARSHIPS for Upstate NY students!
Onondaga Community College will host the secondYing Scholar Competition in 2011. Every high school student in the Ying TRSEF is eligible for this scholarship contest. Using your Ying TRSEF science fair project, you now add a chance for one of TWO $1000 scholarships!
What is involved? You will submit your abstract and a 10-page version of your science fair report. In the Summary and Certification Form, you will talk about the process and the people who shared this path. Finally — and most uniquely — you will consider the potential of your work to make the world a better place!
Dr. Ying offers these scholarships because he believes that you could transform the future IF aware of your own potential. So … he will invite distinguished judges to review your applications and reports. Five Ying Scholar Finalists will be invited to Syracuse for the Final Round on the Saturday of Fair Weekend. Those judges will hear your brief oral presentation, and question you directly. We will announce their selection of the TWO Ying Scholars Sunday evening at the Science Fest Awards Ceremony.
The Ying Scholar Panel of judges will include PhDs and high-ranking military officers.
Download the competition Information and Paperwork. The 2010 forms currently available will guide your preparations. Dates for deadlines and the Finals will be announced in May, 2010.
Please email the director with questions about the Ying Scholar Competition, or with invitations to speak about this great opportunity.
