Sponsor Science Fair
Sponsors provide critical support for the Minnesota State Science and Engineering Fair (SSEF). Every year, approximately 2,500 students in grades 6-12 compete in local and regional science fairs throughout Minnesota. Up to 500 of these students qualify to participate at the state level, opening doors to opportunities not available elsewhere.
MAS offers two separate opportunities for SSEF sponsorship: Event Sponsorship & Award Sponsorship. We encourage organizations to do both!

Sponsored awards provide a strong incentive and fulfilling reward for students’ excellent scientific research. Award requirements are very flexible and may include cash prizes, tours, certificates, and much more. When you’re ready to sponsor an award, complete the award sponsorship form.
MAS offers many opportunities for organizations and individuals to become event sponsors, including exhibitor booths, event food sponsorship, and more. For additional information, see our Science Fair sponsorship flyer (to the right) or contact Science Fair Manager Liz Buhmann.
