Two
Plano Students Named
Intel Science Talent
Semifinalists
February 3, 2006
Congratulations to Jeff Nanney (Plano East Senior High
School) and Enhoa Li (Plano West Senior High School) who were
both named semifinalists in the prestigious 2005-06 Intel Science
Talent Search.
The
Science Talent Search (STS) was created in 1942 to encourage
talented high school students to pursue
careers in science, math, engineering, or medicine.
If continued
accolades are a measure of success, the contest has met its
goal. Some 70 percent of Science Talent Search finalists have
gone
on to earn either PhD or MD degrees.
The Intel Foundation will award $1,000 to each semifinalist with
a matching amount going to their schools. Intel implemented the
school award in 2000 and since then has contributed more than
$2 million to help improve math and science in U.S. high schools.
