Louisiana Junior Science & Humanities Symposium

The Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) Program is jointly sponsored by the United States Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, in cooperation with leading research universities throughout the nation. The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed JSHS on the NASSP Advisory List of Contests and Activities.

Students who compete in the regional symposia by presenting their original research are eligible for valuable awards. At each of the forty-eight regional competitions, three finalists are eligible to receive scholarship awards totaling $4,500 (awarded at $2,000, $1,500 and $1,000). Five regional finalists are awarded an expense-paid trip to National Symposium held in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Louisiana symposium will take place January 14-16, 2010.
