The WSSEF encourages each participant to recognize the generosity of these sponsors by calling or writing to them directly. Many of the sponsoring businesses will be providing staffing and support at this year's fair. If you see them, please say "Hello" and thank them for their support.

Information for WSSEF Students selected to attend the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

Selection Criteria Students in grades 9-12 or equivalent are eligible to be selected to attend the ISEF provided the student has not reached age 21 on or before May 1 preceeding the ISEF.

WSSEF will select two Finalists to send to ISEF.

Winners will be announced at the Award Ceremony on Saturday of the WSSEF Fair.

The finalists will be required to attend a meeting immediately following the Award Ceremony. The purpose of the meeting will be to distribute important, time critical information about the ISEF registration and travel arrangements. If possible, parents and teachers should also attend.

ISEF Registration
During the informational meeting following the Award Ceremony, each student Finalist to the ISEF will be provided a student packet. The packet contains important information on registering for the ISEF, the schedule of events, and tour information.

Each Finalist will be required to complete their portion of the registration process online. The Fair Director will give details during the meeting.

Travel Arrangements
All travel arrangements will be made through the WSSEF's official Chaperone or Adult-In-Charge. The Chaperone will make all air and hotel reservations. In addition, the Chaperone will be in charge of meals and miscellaneous expenses.

Project Display Boards and Shipping
Through a generous donation, the WSSEF has obtained professional project display boards for Finalists to use at the ISEF. You will find other ISEF Finalists using similar boards.

The project display boards will come with a sturdy shiping case and display items can be easily mounted using Velcro® Tape.

Finalists will pick-up the display boards during the informational meeting so there will be ample time to get ready for the ISEF. Finalists are required to take their display boards with them on the plane to and from the ISEF as checked luggage. The WSSEF official chaperone will reimburse any extra airline fees assocated with the display board.

After returning home, the Finalists will remove their display materials and ship the display boards back to the WSSEF via UPS Ground (or FedEX Ground). Finalist will be reimbursed for shiping charges. All shipping receipts must be submitted to the the WSSEF's treasurer by June 1 for reimbursement.

In addition, the WSSEF will pay a maximum of $75.00 for the shipment of supporting material such as notebooks. Costs exceeding this amount due to extenuating circumstances will require prior approval.

Finalists will be responsible for the replacement or repair of Display Boards which are damaged due to negligence on the part of the Finalist.

Accompanying Adults
The WSSEF has two slots available for parents or teachers to attend the ISEF as Accompanying Adults. Additional slots may be requested through the ISEF.

All travel arrangements (including lodging and food) are the responsibility of the Accompanying Adults. In addition, the Accompanying Adults are responsible for their ISEF Registration Fees.
The WSSEF Fair Director must be contacted by the Monday following the WSSEF if a Finalist wants to use the Accompanying Adults slots.. This information is necessary when completing the ISEF Online Registration.
The Accompanying Adult ISEF Registration Fees are as follows:
- $100.00 per Accompanying Adult (each Finalist will have one slot if desired. If a Finalist does not use a slot then the other Finalist may use the slot).
- $150.00 per Accompanying Adult (providing the ISEF approves the extra slots).
If the fees are increased, the Accompanying Adults will be responsible for the increase in fees.
Registration Fees for Accompanying Adults must be included when the Finalists send in their forms (by the Thursday following the WSSEF). All checks for registration fees must be made out to the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair or WSSEF.

Time Lines
The WSSEF is held during the last possible weekend allowed by the ISEF and therefore, completing the ISEF forms quickly is essential so WSSEF Finalists will be properly registered. If ISEF registration deadlines are not met, WSSEF Finalists will be disqualified from attending the ISEF.
