The 2025 regional symposium will be held on Saturday, March 1, at Carthage College in Kenosha, and offers participants the chance to earn scholarships, gain national recognition, and connect with NASA and other scientists.
Participants will present their research or project in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or the humanistic aspects of science to compete for scholarships that can be used at any undergraduate college or university including:
1st Place: $2,000 scholarship;
2nd Place: $1,500 scholarship;
3rd Place: $1,000 scholarship.

Carthage will double the regional JSHS scholarship for students who enroll at the college, offering awards of up to $4,000.
These scholarships are stackable with Carthage’s financial aid packages, including merit scholarships of up to $20,000 per year based on high school grade point average.
As home to NASA’s Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, Carthage has a partnership with NASA that provides its students with opportunities for hands-on research in space technology and innovation. The college’s new engineering facility was completed in fall 2024, and Carthage has a 92% medical school acceptance rate among pre-health students, compared to a national average of 41%.
The application deadline for the symposium is Friday, Jan. 31. For more information and to register, visit carthage.edu/jshs.
