University of Melbourne Trinity College Young Leaders Program 2020

Every July and December, Trinity College at The University of Melbourne hosts students from all around the world for a truly remarkable and life changing experience. The Young Leaders Program (YLP) is for students aged between 14 and 17 and provides the opportunity to broaden their outlook on learning and study, be inspired, increase their confidence, practice leadership skills and consider future direction. It offers students a taste of residential college and university life.

 

Throughout YLP, participating students are guided and mentored by a team of university students. YLP is designed to allow students to choose from academic streams that best suit their future career ambitions, with the opportunity to join the program for one or two weeks. Further info can be found below and in the Young Leaders Program 2020 brochure.

In 2020, Trinity College will offer a number of one week (full and partial) scholarships for Australian students. Students may be able to apply for a scholarship if they are from regional Victoria, are Indigenous, come from a low socio-economic background, or are a refugee.
