Support MTSEF
The Middle Tennessee Science & Engineering Fair (MTSEF) provides students across the region with the opportunity to conduct and present original research — at no cost to students or their schools.
MTSEF is supported by the MTSEF Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, led by a volunteer board of educators and professionals.
Why Your Support Matters
It costs approximately $100 per student to support participation in the fair. These costs include:

Facility and event setup
-
Travel support for advancing finalists

Insurance and operational expenses
Our board is made up entirely of volunteer educators and professionals, and 100% of funding goes directly to supporting students and the fair experience.
