AMSI Yuille-Umbers Secondary School Scholarships
AMSI Yuille-Umbers Secondary School Scholarships provide support and mentoring to female students completing Specialist Mathematics in Year 11 and 12, with a focus on under-represented groups.
The low participation of female students in specialist mathematics has been society’s concern over a number of years. The Secondary School Scholarships will support selected female school students with resources and mentoring, building their self-confidence to continue the pursuit of school maths at the most advanced level.
Providing support for more female students to complete Specialist Mathematics in Year 11 and 12 will open doors for them to access the innovative and creative maths and science related careers of the future.
The scholarship funds will provide necessary material support – textbooks, a laptop and other study materials as well as some tutoring if required. The funds will also contribute mentoring and support from the AMSI CHOOSEMATHS team to inspire self-confidence in the students and open their career horizons–something which is particularly relevant to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Your donation to support the AMSI Yuille-Umbers Secondary School Scholarships is greatly appreciated.
Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible. On the AMSI Foundation donation form, please choose the “Maryam Mirzakhani Award” as the activity to support.
