The Youth Excellence in Science (YES) Awards is being implemented yearly to further motivate and inspire the youth to strive for excellence in the fields of science and mathematics.  The medals of distinction are conferred by the DOST Secretary or the DOST Regional Director to young Filipino students who are able to win gold, silver and bronze medals in the DOST-SEI recognized international science and math competitions.
