                                     To all schools in the State of New Jersey:                                                                      September 2013

                Registration for the New Jersey Science League is now open to all public and private schools in the State.  Registration will remain open until the week of November 29, 2012.    

                The Science League is unique in both the State and our Nation.  Having been started in 1962 by Dr. Mal Sturchio as a chemistry league, the League now offers competitions in biology, chemistry, physics,  earth science, and  environmental science for all beginning students.  There are also competitions for AP levels in chemistry, biology, and physics.  The topics, rules, and fees of the League as well as registration  can be found at the web address of www.enter.net/~njscil.  The Science League’s email address is newjsl@ptd.net .

                The competitions are on two levels.  One level is for the students.  Students within any one testing area are ranked with each other based upon their scores on 3 of the 4 exams given.  Any student completing 3 of the 4 exams receives a certificate from the Science League.  The top ten percent (10%) of the students receiving a certificate also receive a student plaque.  Last year the League awarded approximately 240 student plaques.  The plaques are presented to the students in conjunction with your school’s awards program.  

                The next level of competition is with teams.  The students make up teams from the various schools.  Each school only needs two members for each team, but as many as four may compete for each subject area.  Schools may sign up for one to nine teams.  Team scores which is sum of top 2 student scores are cumulative from January through April.  Competition within each testing area is extremely keen.  By the end of the season there can be as little as one question separating first place from second place.  For each competition the results are posted on the web at www.enter.net/~njscil.  The final team score for the season will be the sum of all four exams.  Schools are ranked from #1 down to the last school.   The top 10 schools (not 10%) are awarded plaques.      

                Last year the NJSL offered a scholarship to the first place students in Biology II, Chemistry II, Physics II and Physics C.  The scholarship will continue this year. 

                With the budget cuts for the last two years bussing has become an important issue for the Science League.  Many schools were faced with dropping the Science League, if they had to bus to a host school. So last year bussing was not mandatory as had been in the past.  Again this year bussing will not be mandatory.  However, areas may change depending upon the schools that are willing to bus.   For those areas with a host school for any one month the exams for the area will be sent to the host school.  All areas are encouraged to gather at a host school. 

                In order to be part of the New Jersey Science League fill out the registration form.  The registration fees remain the same, but we have had to add a $40 shipping and handling fee.  This is a onetime fee for the Science League season. 

                Please return your registration in the envelope provided.  You may also fax your registration to 908-213-9391 You may also register online at enter.net/~njscil or by email (newjsl@ptd.net).  If you have any questions, please call 908-213-8923 or email and the director of the League will get back to you as quickly as possible. 

                Thank you for your time.  We are looking forward to receiving your registration.
