National Indigenous Business Summer School
Apply Now!
The upcoming National Indigenous Business Summer School (NIBSS) program is being held from 17 - 22 January 2027 in Melbourne, Victoria. Don't miss out on this unique, fun and rewarding opportunity!
NIBSS is an exciting week-long program developed for Indigenous high school students entering Years 11 and 12 who are thinking about studying business, starting their own business, becoming an entrepreneur or are simply curious about university study. A full program of activities are organised across campuses at the University of Melbourne, Monash University, and Swinburne University. All students are supported throughout the week by our Indigenous mentors and University staff.
The program has been designed to provide students with a unique opportunity to experience what daily life as a university student is like, to learn about the various pathways into business studies, and to see business in action by working as a team on a real-world business case!
All expenses of the program are covered (including travel/flights, accommodation, meals, activities, gala dinner, merch), and all students are supported throughout the week by Indigenous Mentors and University staff.
