The Rotary National Science & Technology Forum

This is a programme for OUTSTANDING all round science, maths and technology students in Year 12 who will be returning to Year 13 and are planning to study the sciences or technology at the tertiary level.

Rotary and the Tertiary Institutions of Auckland conduct this fully residential programme. By the end of the Forum, students should have a better understanding of the tertiary courses they wish to follow and a fuller appreciation of the place of science and technology in the wider community. It also allows high achieving students to spend time with similar-minded people. The experiences gained invariably result in overall personal growth and renewed motivation to succeed.

Each District has been allocated 22 places at the Forum.

All Secondary Schools and Clubs in the District will be sent copies of the application forms and guidelines. Applications from students MUST be lodged with Rotary Clubs, who will interview & endorse them before forwarding to the District Coordinator, who will then make the final District selections.

The selection is based on positive personal qualities and proven scholastic achievement at both Club and District levels. Successful students should be advised by the District Coordinator by the end of September. Selected applicants have the opportunity to win a place at either the Canberra (1 per District) or the London International Youth Science Forum (2 Forum places).
