High school students participating in the JSHS Program are afforded the opportunity to present the results of their own original research before a team of judges. Regional winners advance to a National competition. Scholarships totaling more than $340,000 are awarded by the Tri-services during the competitions. In addition, top national finalist winners also receive an all expense paid trip to the prestigious London International Youth Science Forum, a scientific and cultural exchange program attracting students from more than 60 nations.
