National Youth Science Forum National Youth Science ForumThe student fee plus sponsorship paid on behalf of each student covers the cost of travel from the nearest capital city or major airport in Australia.
Travel to the NYSF has been arranged so that parents are able either to place their sons and daughters directly on to the NYSF chartered coach or to see their children off at their nearest major airport or railway station from where they will leave to stay with their intermediate host and from there continue to Canberra by chartered coach. If a student comes from a centre which is not serviced by Qantas or is off the coach route, more changes of transport may be required.
The cost for you to attend the NYSF is $2,240. Most of the cost can often be recovered from other voluntary sources such as the nominating Rotary Club, high school or community sponsors if a correct approach is made. Since each student must be considered individually it is not possible to anticipate in advance from where the funding will come, however it should be stressed that there are means to obtain funding for those who could not otherwise afford to attend the NYSF. Monetary considerations should never be a reason for not applying.
