The competition for a place at the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is quite fierce: our last successful candidate was Maria Ciubic-Batcu (picture on right), she was one of some 67 applicants.  48 made it to be eligible for selection, a total of 16 only were selected...   
 
NYSF candidates are selected from Year 12 High School Students and similar schools, such as the Qld Government Health Sciences Academy (Griffith University) where Maria studied at the time.
 
The next forum will take place for a week in January 2017 (applications closed in June).  But give some thoughts to any potential candidate for 2018 - nominations will close in June 2017!
