A message from Wright State University President, David R. Hopkins

"We are so proud to host this prestigious event. Science Olympiad is the pinnacle of science-related competitions for our sharpest middle and high school students.

We hope many teams will arrive early to explore our campus and the surrounding communities, as well as to take advantage of the many exciting workshops, tours, demonstrations, and activities we have planned just for them.

The students competing in the National Tournament are some of our nation's brightest young minds. We hope many of these students will join the Raider family in the near future. To that end, Wright State University will award $2,500 scholarship to the first place winners in each competition event and tuition scholarships to each member of the overall winning team in both divisions.

These talented young people embody the same pioneering spirit of innovation and ingenuity that helped the Wright brothers, for whom our university is named, soar into the skies. We are honored to welcome them to our campus and hope their dreams will take flight."
