Competition · Water Environment Federation · State → national → Stockholm
Research competition for water-related science and engineering projects.
Our take
For a water-related research project, the state round is very winnable. The national winner goes to Sweden.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
