The Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) organises several Olympiads every year. By participating in these SOF Olympiads, students not only earn valuable recognition but all get a few SOF rewards for participating in them and some students are also recognised for their excellent performance.

For the academic year 2024-25, students will be rewarded at various levels - school, zonal, district, and international. There will be special recognitions for teachers and principals based on student and school performance. Check the article below to get in-depth information on SOF awards and recognition 2024-25.

SOF Awards and Scholarships for Students

SOF will conduct various Olympiads during 2024-25. The awards will be distributed for several Olympiads as follows:

  • For Classes 3 to 12, SOF awards will be given at the international and zonal levels based on Level 2 performance.

  • For Classes 1 and 2, SOF awards will be based on Level 1 performance, as these are single-level exams.

  1. IGKO, ICSO, ICO, IHO, and ISSO:

  • All classes will receive awards based on Level 1 performance, as these are single-level exams.
