  Intel Science Talent Search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intel Science Talent Search (ISTS) is a prestigious research-based science competition in the United States primarily for high school students.
The Intel STS is administered by the Science Service, which began the competition in 1942 with Westinghouse; for many years, the competition was known as the "Westinghouse Science Talent Search." In 1998, Intel became the sponsor of the "Westinghouse Competition." Over the years, over $3.8 million in scholarships have been awarded through the program.
In late January, the 40 finalists are informed; they compete in March in Washington, D.C., at the National Academy of Science for the top ten spots, which have scholarships ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 for the first prize winner.
