Access & Equity Scholarships

Talent is everywhere; opportunity isn’t. Our scholarships make sure cost is never the reason a curious student misses out.

Access and Equity

STEM is for everyone

Through scholarships and the support of partners like Rotary, we help young people from every background and postcode take part in NYSF. We are committed to ensuring that as many talented young Australians can participate in our programs as possible.

The detail

How it works

Who it’s for

Assessed on circumstances including living in a remote or regional area, a low socio-economic background, being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or any other background that might need support.

How it works

The scholarship is a discount on program fees, sized to your circumstances. It can be combined with other funding, including Rotary, which helps students who meet more than one criterion.

How to apply

Start your Year 12 Program application and complete the Access and Equity Scholarship section. It’s assessed alongside your application, with a letter of support from a responsible person outside your family.

Scholarship voices

In their words

Scholarship recipient 2021
The scholarship allowed me, as a rural student, to participate in the NYSF program. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to network with industry professionals and to expand my interests in STEM.
Scholarship recipient 2020
I received the equity scholarship, which was amazing for me, and took away a lot of worry about how we were possibly going to find the funds for me to go. Given how much of an amazing experience it was, I can’t imagine how much I would have missed out on if I hadn’t had it.
