## About this program

The Kentucky Science and Engineering Fair is an ISEF-affiliated state competition for students in grades 5-12 at Kentucky schools, including homeschool students, who are under 20 on April 1. Qualifying routes include regional placements, at-large entries and the stated Amazon Innovation Award route.

The March 27-28, 2026 fair at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond is historical; 2027 dates are not announced. Standing rules list a nonrefundable $15 fee per student, including each team member, but do not label it a 2027 price. Students submit one project and follow ISEF research approval, display and safety rules. The discontinued northern Kentucky regional fair is distinct from this statewide fair.

Fields above come directly from the catalog listing. A field with no stored value is omitted.
