The University of Queensland UQ Young Scholars Program

The University of Queensland'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 Queensland and New South Wales. Designed to nurture and develop future leaders, the Program also presents students with a unique opportunity for academic extension and enrichment.
 
The 2014-2015 UQ Young Scholars Program involves:
  • A five-day (four night) Residential Camp at the St Lucia campus (Sunday 30 November - Thursday 4 December 2014)
  • A YSP Open Day Reunion (August 2015)
  • Facebook Group Networking & YSP Newsletters
Students will gain valuable insights into university life and fields of study they may not have encountered as part of the school curriculum. They will hear from leading thinkers and engage in discussions and collaborative forums in group settings. A range of social, sporting and cultural activities will complement the academic program.
While on campus, students are housed in single rooms in one of UQ’s residential colleges. The Program is administered and supervised by University staff and Student Mentors.
