Many students conduct research outside the guidelines of a traditional science project.
The following awards recognize scientific research in the form of a written paper. This scholarship is awarded to two students presenting a research proposal for a project that is unique and creative in scope. If the student is in 9-11 grade, a certificate of deposit will be held for the student until such time as it is needed, then both principal and interest will be awarded. Dr. Charles Kimball was one of the founders of Science Pioneers and a president of Midwest Research Institute.
