Bergen County Academies Students Named Regeneron Scholars

The Bergen County Academies is proud to announce that Jiwoo Lee of Montvale, is one of 8 B.C.A. students named as Regeneron Scholars. As a result of her research project, Jiwoo also represented the United States in India at the recent "On Top of the World" Intel Science and Technology Forum.

Three hundred high school seniors were named scholars in the 2017 Regeneron Science Talent Search, a program founded and produced by Society for Science & the Public. The scholars – chosen from more than 1,700 applicants – were selected on the basis of their exceptional promise as scientists, excellent record of academic achievement, and outstanding recommendations from teachers and other scientists.

“These exceptional students are true leaders and innovators – the top young scientists in our country today," Maya Ajmera, President & CEO of Society for Science & the Public and Publisher of Science News. "They have an enthusiasm and passion for STEM that I know will inspire them to do amazing things as they head to college and beyond."

Check back on Jan. 24, when 40 of the top 300 scholars will be named Regeneron Science Talent Search finalists.
