Student, Parent and Teacher Information

Only students selected as winners from one of the four approved regional science fairs are eligible to compete in the in-person, state competition at Auburn University.  These students will be required to fill out additional ASEF-specific forms in STEM Wizard.

All Regional Fairs are required to advance their winners to ASEF using the STEM Wizard System immediately after their fair. Project paperwork will be reviewed and approved by the SRC Team and ASEF Director, Dr. Jess Gilpin, jag0038@auburn.edu. Projects that do not receive approval prior to ASEF may not be eligible to compete or receive category and/or special awards.
 
ASEF will be hosted by the College of Sciences and Mathematics at Auburn University at the Academic Classroom and Laboratory Complex in April 2025. The fee for ASEF 2025 will be $35 per participant.
