In order to support junior and senior high school students who are currently unable to do as much research as they would like at school, we will be holding an online seminar to help them apply for the Science Castle Research Grant.Teachers who are considering applying for research funding are also encouraged to attend.

The Science Castle Research Fund is a research grant initiative for middle and high school students that provides 50,000~150,000 for research, expert advice, and a place to present their research.We support not only activities at school, but also personal research activities at home.
Applications are currently being accepted for four awards. All deadlines are at the end of May.
