StudentsThe next Scientia Challenge program will be held on 10-11 July, 2008. Please see the Student Programs brochure for information specific workshops and application forms. The Scientia Challenge Program is designed for gifted and talented high school students in Years 7-10. The program features a range of workshops from a number of academic disciplines taught over two days. The courses are developed and presented by academics of the University of New South Wales, who are considered the leaders in their fields. The courses are not vocational in nature, rather, they are designed to stimulate the interests of gifted students. The level of difficulty in the courses is aimed at Years 11 and 12, thus providing a rigorous and challenging program for gifted students. The program also provides the opportunity for gifted students to socialise with like minded children of similar interests. Students may also participate in the Residential program, involving a supervised stay at a University College with other gifted children for the duration of the Scientia program. All meals are provided, and activities (some of which may involve a small cost) are organised for each evening. Students are fully supervised during the Residential Program. Program brochures and application forms are available from the Brochures & Forms page. A limited number of full, half and part sponsorships are available. Sponsorship places are not allocated on academic merit but on the basis of financial hardship or geographical isolation. More information is available on the Sponsorships page. |
