Senior Division Students: Submit Your ISEF Forms Online
SENIOR STUDENTS ONLY ALL 9th through 12th grade students need to fill out and submit ISEF forms in order to advance to SLVSEF. If you are in grades 9-12 and are planning on participating in SLVSEF, you should go to isefa.heroku.com (a new site we built for this purpose) and create an account so you can get this process underway.
Once you are logged in the site, you’ll answer a few questions about your project to determine which ISEF forms are required. From there, you can download blank forms, fill them out using a PDF reader application, digitally sign them (or print them off, sign them and scan them), and then upload them for approval.
