JSHS Regional Symposium Feb. 22
The Patuxent Partnership will lead the 2025 Maryland Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on February 22. Students throughout Maryland were invited to participate and compete for scholarships and the opportunity to present at the national level.
Junior Science and Humanities Symposium is a free, individual STEM competition for students in grades 9-12 sponsored by the Department of Defense. Students submit their original, independent research to compete for over $400,000 in scholarships and cash awards at the regional and national level.
JSHS is open to students across the United States and territories and at DoDEA schools worldwide. JSHS promotes STEM research and experimentation for high school students, recognizes their achievements, and opens the door to STEM careers
The Virtual Mentorship Program, Chronus, has mentors from diverse backgrounds and experiences related to STEM, such as science and engineering, education, and Department of Defense Subject Matter Experts. Virtual Mentors answer research questions, provide support, and feedback on the JSHS virtual mentoring platform year-round.
All Maryland high schools were eligible to participate, with the exception of schools in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties inside the I-495 Beltway. Students in school systems inside the Beltway in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties participate in the Greater Washington, DC, JSHS.
