LASA is excited to announce that two of our seniors, Bhargav Annem and Nathan Elias were named as scholars in Regeneron’s Science Talent Search. the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math research competition for high school seniors. Regeneron STS, a program of Society for Science, recognizes and empowers the most promising young scientists in the U.S. who are creating the ideas and solutions that solve our most urgent challenges. 

Both students are now able to advance to the finalist round. Finalists will be announced on January 24th. Finalists will each receive a check and will participate in a week-long competition in March. Finalists will share their research with the public, participate in judging, meet top scientists and form relationships with one another as they compete for more than $1.8 million, including the first place prize of $250,000.

Congratulations again to Bhargav and Nathan! We are very proud of you!
