Youth - Rotary National Science & Technology Forum

The Rotary National Science and Technology Forum

Event Details

 

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This Forum is a programme aimed at high achieving, well-rounded science, maths and technology students in Year 12 at New Zealand Secondary Schools who will be returning to Year 13 and who are planning to study science or technology subjects at tertiary level in New Zealand.

All Secondary Schools and Rotary Clubs in each Rotary District will be sent copies of the application forms together with the necessary guidelines for student selection.  Applications from students MUST be lodged with the local Rotary Clubs assigned as their liaison Club.  Members of these Rotary Clubs will interview the students they select, endorse their shortlist selection and forward this selection to their Rotary District Co-ordinator who will then make the final District selections.  These final selections will receive final approval from the Forum Director.  Successful students will only be advised after the Forum Director’s final approval and confirmation of their place at the Forum is given.

At both Rotary Club and Rotary District level, selection is based on positive personal qualities and proven scholastic achievement.  Successful students should be advised by the Rotary District Co-ordinator of their selection to attend the 2022 Forum by mid-October 2021.

The Forum Fee includes the cost of accommodation, tuition, some fun activities and transport in Auckland.  Travel to and from Auckland for students living more than 150km from the Forum venue will also be met by the Forum organisation.

It is usual for the sponsoring Rotary Club and/or schools to assist with paying part of the Forum Fee.  The balance is required to be paid by the successful applicant.  The amount that each student is to pay will be determined by their nominating Rotary Club.  The payment arrangement between the nominating Rotary Club and successful applicants who have been nominated will be discussed, agreed, recorded and confirmed at the interview with the nominating Rotary Club to avoid any confusion.

The Forum Director and his organising committee look forward to planning for and receiving the 2022 nominations.

Rotary Clubs and Schools will be contacted at the scheduled times in 2021.

Schedule for the  33rd Annual Rotary National Science & Technology Forum

to be held in January 2022

Dates:      8 – 22 January 2022

Venue:     The University of Auckland, O’Rorke Hall, 16 Mount Street, Auckland

Cost:        The all-inclusive cost for attending the 2022 Forum will be $1995 per Student

TIMETABLE:

After careful consideration and conducting an extensive risk review relating to factors imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is with regret that we wish to advise you that we have taken the unfortunate decision to cancel the 2022 Rotary National Science & Technology Forum. The hope is to hold the Forum again in 2023.
