DRSEF Registration

Please see the attached guide / steps for joining the Dallas Regional Science Fair.

Eligibility

Dallas Regional Science and Engineering Fair (DRSEF) covers Texas Education Agency Region 10 and includes all of Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman and Rockwall counties and part of Henderson and Van Zandt counties. 

DRSEF has two divisions, Junior for grades 6 to 8 and Senior for grades 9 to 12. Students may complete projects as an individual or in a team of 2 or 3 students all from the eligible region.  

Students begin by entering the fair at their local public, private, charter or home school. The top projects at each school advance to district fairs then the regional fair.  Public school students will typically compete in a school and/or district competition to gain eligibility for DRSEF. Private schools typically hold a school fair to qualify students for DRSEF.

If you are a home school student or attend a school that does not hold a school/district fair, please contact us to learn more on gaining entry to the fair.
