2021 California Science & Engineering Fair
Students Qualifying Through Affiliates

The following students have been certified as eligible to enter the 2021 California Science & Engineering Fair by the identified affiliated fair. Each named student has been sent (or shortly will be sent) an invitation email allowing them to register for CSEF 2021. These invitations are sent to the email address provided by the qualifying affiliated county or multi-county regional science fair. Depending upon what information you provided to that fair, you may need to look in a different account.

Qualified students may use any email address that allows us to reach you. You do not need to use the same email address for CSEF as you did in your qualifying fair.

If you are named on this list but have not received an invitation, email CSEF@usc.edu. Authenticated qualified students will be sent another invitation.

Students not on this list are not eligible to participate. If you believe this to be in error, contact your qualifying fair. They are the only entity that can change any qualification list below.
