Help young Australians access life-changing STEM opportunities

Growing up in rural NSW, Emily’s family spent a lot of time outdoors. She always wanted to help mitigate the devastating effects of climate change on our natural world, but her options for gaining firsthand insights into career choices were very limited. 

With support through the NYSF Access & Equity Scholarship program, Emily attended the NYSF Year 12 Program, where she discovered new career possibilities, connected with mentors and gained the confidence to pursue her goals. 

Today, she works in renewable energy and emissions advisory. 

Her story is one of hundreds. 

Every year, talented young Australians are held back not by lack of curiosity or capability, but by cost, distance and access to opportunity. 

Your donation can help change that. 

All donations over $2 are tax deductible in Australia.
