GNSEF is a regional fair that includes much of the eastern portion of Nebraska, bounded on the east by the Missouri River and on the west by Clay county. Anyone in grades 6-12 attending school in this region is eligible to compete.
Students do not need to enter another fair before coming to GNSEF– there are no prerequisites.
Schools/teachers/home schools: in order to register students, you can use the student registration page. Anyone can create a login and then register one or more students.
How to Claim Scholarship Funds Awarded at GNSEF – students, you can find the forms required to claim your scholarship funds on the awards page.
The 2021 Fair will be held online! Due to Covid we won’t be able to host the fair in person. Judging will be done online in the last week of March and finalists will be interviewed via Zoom.
GNSEF chooses two winners to compete in the International Science and Engineering Fair each year.
