STSciFair is made available to schools across NY State through a Distance Learning CoSer administered by GST BOCES, one of 37 Boards of Cooperative Educational Services in New York State. With BOCES as a catalyst, school districts develop shared programs that serve children from all districts regardless of enrollment, income or size of tax base. By focusing on collaboration and cost containment, BOCES help to relieve some of the financial burdens increasingly placed on local taxpayers.

SciFair is a science communication fair that was developed and supported by the SciCentr outreach program at Cornell University from 2000-2009. Funding for SciCentr came from Cornell University and New York State, with additional support from the National Science Foundation, GE Foundation, corporate and community foundations, and participating sites and partners.

MST-Connect is a coalition of leaders from industry, economic development, and education in the central Southern Tier of NY. The MST-Connect mission is to create a regional math, science, and technology pipeline that results in the development of a workforce that is rich in M-S-T skills. It evolved from the MST Pipeline Initiative formed to re-energize, revitalize, and refocus attention, interest and understanding of the embedded importance of math, science and technology to life-long learning and success.

ST SciFair is supported through this partnership with additional funding provided by Corning, Inc. and the Anderson Foundation.
