There are no specific Science Olympiads for college students akin to those for high school, but there are competitive events like the annual Putnam Mathematics Competition and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling for undergraduates. These competitions focus on mathematics and modeling, respectively. Participants can find more information on the official websites of these contests. While the discussion briefly mentions unrelated topics like moonshining and home brewing, the primary focus remains on academic competitions. Overall, college students interested in science competitions should explore these mathematics-focused events.

I'm not sure about the other sciences, but there are the annual Putnam Mathematics competitions for math students in college/university.

There is also the Mathematical Contest in Modeling for college/university undergraduates:

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
