HCHS's Ashley Z is the only NYC HS student to move on to Top 40 STS Regeneron Finalists!

The Regeneron Science Talent Search 2025 finalists represent 39 schools across 16 states. They are competing for more than $1.8 million, with a top prize of $250,000. Finalists were selected from 300 scholars and 2,471 entrants, the largest pool of applicants since 1967, based on the originality and creativity of their scientific research, as well as their achievement and leadership both inside and outside of the classroom. 

Finalists will participate in a week-long competition from March 6-12, 2025, where they will undergo a rigorous judging process and compete for more than $1.8 million in awards. They will also have an opportunity to interact with leading scientists and share research with the public on March 9, both in person and virtually. The top 10 Regeneron Science Talent Search 2025 winners will be announced during an awards ceremony on March 11, streamed live from Washington D.C.
