Support student research

Your donation helps students take part in research symposia. Gifts pay for event costs, awards, judging, student materials, and travel support.

Sponsor the organization

Support regional symposia, national programming, student access, judging, awards, and chapter growth.

Sponsor an event or program

Fund a poster session, awards ceremony, judge training, student networking, travel support, or chapter launch.

Sponsor a special award

Create a named award recognizing strong research in a field connected to your organization's mission.

Help students get to Nationals

A student's family should not have to choose between a national opportunity and the cost of getting there. We hope to help National Finalists with travel when the cost would otherwise keep them home.

Sponsor a special award

Organizations can propose a named award recognizing strong research in an area connected to their mission. Special awards typically begin at $500, with most of the contribution supporting the student prize.

Sponsors may help define the scientific focus and nominate qualified judges. ASERS reviews all criteria, judge assignments, and conflicts of interest before judging. Special-award sponsors do not select Grand Award winners.
