Special Awards

Students in the Carver Fair have the opportunity to be recognized for their scientific achievements in multiple ways. Beyond the traditional awards for each grade level, the Carver Fair also has a long tradition of partnership with local businesses and organizations to offer Special Awards. Since the Carver Fair began in 1979, individuals and organizations have offered awards that range from $50 gift cards to medals, saving bonds, paid internships, microscopes, college scholarships and day visits to local companies. These awards recognize skills such as investigating environmental problems, demonstrating excellence in botany, treating experimental animals humanely, excelling in math and science, and exploring human intelligence. Through these amazing awards, students are encouraged to continue pushing the limits of the scientific curiosities and offered unique opportunities to further their scientific education.

We are no longer accepting special award partners for the 2016 fairs. If you would like to contribute an award for future fairs please contact Nancy Peter at npeter@philaedfund.org
