2026 National Youth Science Forum Year 12 Program

Organisation: National Youth Science Forum

Location: ANU Acton Campus & UQ St Lucia Campus

Date: January 6 to January 21, 2026

Are you in Year 11 in 2025? Apply now to join us in January!

The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 Program gives students that are about to start Year 12 a broader understanding of study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Staying on campus at university colleges, students are immersed in science and technology. Participants:

participate in tours of science and technology facilities,
learn about cutting-edge research,
engage with industry partners and research providers,
learn about university, training and STEM career pathways,
mix with like-minded students their age from all over Australia,
participate in social and team building activities, and
network with former NYSF participants.

In January 2026, the NYSF Year 12 Program will run two summer sessions at:

The Australian National University, Canberra (6 –14 January 2026)
The University of Queensland, Brisbane (13 – 21 January 2026)

As part of the application process, any students experiencing financial hardship or another disadvantage that negatively impacts their ability to attend the program may apply for an NYSF Access and Equity Scholarship.

We also encourage students to seek financial support from NYSF’s founding partner, Rotary. Many Rotary Clubs are familiar with the NYSF and able to offer some level of funding or assist students to fundraise to attend. You can use the Rotary Club Finder to search for your local Club.

Applications close 20 June 2025. You will be advised of the outcome of your application by mid-August.
