The Rotary National Science and Technology Forum
Presented by the University of Auckland, AUT University, Manukau Institute of Technology, Massey University (Albany), RMIT University (Melbourne), via the Forum, offer an advanced academic programme with experiences in a wide range of scientific disciplines to outstanding Year 12 (6th Form) students, who plan to study science at Year 13 (7th Form).The Forum will be held in Auckland on the 12th – 26th January 2019. Students live in at O‘Rourke Hall, a University of Auckland Hall of Residence. Each Rotary district in New Zealand is allocated 22 places at the Forum. Students should emerge from the Forum with a better idea of the tertiary courses they wish to pursue and have a fuller appreciation of science and technology in the community. Applications must be lodged through a Rotary club.
Final selection by the district committee is based on academic achievement and personal qualities. It is expected that clubs will make a contribution towards the fees for their successful candidates. In some cases schools may also assist.
