New Jersey Southern Junior Science and Humanities Symposium

The primary goal of the New Jersey Southern Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (NJSJSHS) is to promote research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics at the high school level, and to publicly recognize students for outstanding achievement. The two-day event includes presentations from New Jersey high school students on their individual science research projects. Schools are welcome to register and attend as observers.

The Army Education Outreach Program’s (AEOP) Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) Program is jointly sponsored by the  Army, Navy, and Air Force, in cooperation with leading research universities throughout the nation. The Department of Defense generously provides funding for the National symposium and JSHS scholarships.

These students represented the Jersey Shore Junior Science Symposium at the National Symposium in Albuquerque, NM this year.  Ryan Park placed first in his category, Mathematics and Computer Sciences, winning a $12,000.00 scholarship to the College or University of his choice.  This was the third time Ryan placed in his category at the National competition winning first in 2020, third in 2021 and first in 2022.
