Congratulations to NHHS senior Selina Zhang who was named by the Society for Science as one of 40 Finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search 2024! This is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. Selina was selected for her project titled, ArTreeficial: A Novel AI-Integrated Solution to Reducing Invasive Spotted Lanternfly Populations.
Selina was first selected among 300 scholars who will be awarded $2,000 each and their schools will be awarded $2,000 for each enrolled scholar. Now as she was selected as a Finalist, she will be awarded $25,000 and will compete for even larger awards during a weeklong competition in Washington, D.C.

For over eight decades, the Science Talent Search has rewarded talented high school seniors who dedicate countless hours to original research projects and present their results in rigorous reports that resemble graduate school theses. Collectively, Science Talent Search alumni have received millions of dollars in scholarships and won Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals, MacArthur Fellowships, and many other accolades.
