UQ's Young Scholars Program (YSP)

UQ's Young Scholars Program (YSP)

U's Young Scholars Program (YSP) provides high achieving secondary school students with an opportunity to discover, learn and engage with UQ's academic community and like-minded students from across QLD and NSW. Designed to nurture and develop future leaders, the Program also presents students with a unique opportunity for academic extension and enrichment. Applications close Friday 10 August 2018.

2018 Young Scholars Program (YSP) Camp dates

As a result of the 2018 Commonwealth game dates, there has been a schedule clash with the dates for the UQ Young Scholars Program (YSP) and the final week of Year 11 in 2018.

We are aware that some Queensland schools will have Year 11 students in exam blocks during the planned camp dates of November 25 - 29, 2018.

We are limited in the dates in which we can host YSP - having to find a gap between examinations, graduations and the commencement of summer semester. Many of our academic staff, integral to the delivery of the program, are also only available for a short time after examinations.

We will be proceeding with our original camp dates, despite this clash. If your students remain available for these dates, we strongly encourage that they consider applying. Reduced demand for 2018 might provide opportunities for students who might sometimes be overlooked for opportunities like this, but who are consistent achievers.

More information on YSP and how to apply can be found on our website
