The Central Virginia Regional Science Fair (CVRSF) stimulates interest among high school students in many areas of science. Students attending Grades 9-12 in Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell Counties, or in the City of Lynchburg may participate. The science fair enables them to develop their abilities through creativeness and scientific enterprise as shown in their projects. The fair unites local educators at the secondary and college levels who mentor students as they learn the research process.

The CVRSF is operated by a regional steering committee.  Funds from local school division annual participation fees, local college support, and local businesses and professional organizations provide the yearly operation budget.  Each year the two grand award winners and their teachers represent the CVRSF at the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair. The 2012 Intel ISEF will be held in Pittsburgh, PA May 13-18..
