Designed to nurture and develop our future leaders, the
UQ Young Scholars Program presents students with an exciting opportunity for
academic extension and enrichment and is centred around igniting young
change-makers' passions for leadership, academic achievement and community
development in today's global society.
The 2015-2016 UQ Young Scholars Program involves:
- A five-day (four night)
Residential Camp at the St Lucia Campus
(Sunday 29 November - Thursday 3 December, 2015) - A YSP Reunion at UQ Open Day (Sunday 7 August, 2016)
- Online engagement activities and networking through the exclusive YSP Facebook group
- YSP Newsletters
To ensure diversity in the Program and to allow each
student to make their special contribution, UQ will select nominees from a wide
range of schools, backgrounds and interest areas. Financial hardship should not
be perceived as a barrier to participation. Program fee waivers and travel
bursaries are available for students who are able to provide evidence of financial
hardship.
