Intel Ending Sponsorship of Prestigious Science Contest for High School Students - by Brakkton Booker/ The Two-Way: Breaking News from NPR/ National Public Radio/ npr.org

The giant semiconductor manufacturer Intel will be severing ties with a long- running science and mathematics competition that has awarded millions of dollars in prize money to America's top high school students.

Intel has been a corporate sponsor of the Science Talent Search since 1998, according to the Society For Science, the group that administers the contest.

The competition, according to the group's website has recognized nearly 3,000 finalists in its history and "served as the national stage for the country's best and brightest young scientists to present original research to nationally recognized professional scientists."

Some of the past winners and finalists have gone on to win Nobel Prizes, MacArthur Fellowships and other prestigious awards.

Intel has not released a statement detailing the reasons why it is ending its partnership with the competition. Requests for comment from Intel were not returned by the time of this posting..."

I hope another corporate sponsor picks up the baton.
