The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Expressions of interest/ applications close at the end of May. SO NOW IS THE TIME TO SEEK OUT SUITABLE Year 11 STUDENTS.

NYSF provides about ten students from our Rotary District who have an enthusiasm for a career in science, engineering or technology with a two-week science odyssey in Canberra in January prior to Year 12. Some 280 like-minded students are selected from Rotary Districts all over Australia and overseas to come together for this science program.This is a hands-on experience in which science comes to life and students learn leadership and communication skills and start networking for their future careers.

Selection is made following an interview of each student by the District Committee.

Cost: Program fee for a student to attend the NYSF in 2017 is $3,097. Covers all travel, accommodation and meals while attending the Program. May be your Rotary Club is able to assist with a contribution towards this fee.
