📣 Applications are now open!

Are you, or do you know a Year 10–12 student from South Australia with a passion for science, health or medicine? This could be the opportunity that shapes their future.

The Future in Focus work experience program gives students the chance to step inside a real health and medical research institute, working alongside leading researchers while exploring areas including fertility, genetics, reproductive health and medical innovation.

To help make the work experience program accessible to those who live regionally, the College of Health at Adelaide University is offering the Future in Focus Travel Support Scholarship of up to $3,500 for one regional student to assist with travel and accommodation costs.

Also on offer is the Future in Focus Scholarship - available to one eligible student, supporting their final years of schooling with $2,000 over two years.

If you've ever wondered what a career in health and medical research could look like, now is your chance to find out.

Applications are open now – we'd love to see more regional students take part!
