- The selection panel will consider students for the month in which they are nominated. However, in months where competition is strong, the selection panel may decide to allow particularly worthy applicants to remain eligible for subsequent months. It is therefore a good idea to apply as early in the year as possible, to increase your student’s chances of being selected.
- Please nominate only one student from your school, as the selection panel will only consider one application per school per year.
- Students are selected between the months of April and October.
- Finalists will be contacted by the VCAA for a brief interview about their achievements.
