RVC resident is Intel Semifinalist

Natalie Correa, 17, of Rockville Centre is a semifinalist in the 2015 Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS). Correa attends St. Francis Prepatory School in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Correa's project is called "Mastering the Reproductive Biological Clock."

Each semifinalist receives a $1,000 award from the Intel Foundation with an additional $1,000 going to their school.

Annually, students entering the Intel STS compete for more than $1.6 million in awards. Only 300 students are announced as semifinalists each year. From this select pool, 40 finalists are then invited to Washington, DC in March to participate in final judging, display their work to the public, meet with notable scientists, and compete for three top awards of $150,000 each.
