The Victor Chang School Science Awards
School Science Awards
Established in 2004 in honour of pioneering cardiac surgeon, Dr Victor Chang, the Victor Chang School Science Awards celebrate gifted students, and stimulate growth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
The School Science Awards foster and encourage an interest in science among secondary school students, with the goal of promoting careers in STEM as a viable and interesting career path.
The awards are targeted at government and non-government school students in Year 11 in NSW and WA.
Students are nominated by their teachers for their tenacity and commitment to science. We're looking for outstanding science students who deserve recognition for their efforts in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and other science subjects. A maximum of two students per school can be nominated.
Nominations have now closed
