Sponsorship Packet It takes $30,000 just to operate our regional science fair, before we expand opportunities or create support services to enhance STEM education across our territory. Dr. Ying puts his $15,000 Challenge Grant on the table every year; the Ying TRSEF committee finds the $15,000 we need as the match to secure his support. YOU could sponsor our crucial work!
