Applications have been received from each of the students on the list given below. If you have recently submitted an application through this web site but do not find your name listed here yet, it may simply mean that your record has not had time to be exported from the database to this server. Please have patience.
Please Note: Appearance of a name here does NOT
mean that the named student's application has been accepted, nor
that that application is complete (i.e. all necessary certifications
and signatures, application fee, etc.).
It means only that the application has been received. Even if your
application has been received and is complete, it is still possible
that it will not be accepted. There are two reasons for this:
1. Some fairs have certified more projects to CSSF than they have been allocated, with the understanding that the extra named students are on a prioritized alternates list. If you are unclear as to whether you are on the approved list or the alternates list, contact your affiliated fair. The California State Science Fair will refer all such eligibility questions to the affiliated fair.As soon as possible after Sunday, May 5, the list of all accepted projects and their assigned categories will be posted to this Web site. Your written confirmation letter will be sent by the end of that week.2. All applications must still satisfy the application acceptance criteria for scientific merit. As explained in those criteria, students whose applications are being considered for rejection will be contacted directly by the Directors of Judging on May 4-5. In the past several years only about 1% of all applications were so considered. If you have not heard from the Directors of Judging by Sunday, May 5, you should assume that your application has been accepted.
